Weekly Greetings!
Our first week back to school after a two-week break, went really fast. The students seemed happy to be back and ready to learn. We are continuing the Solids and Liquids unit in Science and explored characteristics of solid objects that can roll or stack. The students worked in small groups to sort and categorize, then we made a Venn diagram as a class to agree on which objects could only be stacked, only roll, or that could do both. Here are a few photos of the students sorting the objects.
A few more fun things I snapped pictures of during the busy week are to follow. A friend sent me a small sand box that has been a favorite free time activity in class.
Every other week we have Show and Tell on Friday, and the students love bringing something to share. It is always so interesting to see what they choose to share.
We often get toys, or pictures, with students
telling stories about those items.
This week we even had a huge bear claw that lead to a lot of discussion and questions from everyone.
You can
see in the class photo to follow, that the group is always interested in what
is being shared on a Show and Tell day.
This week, we will continue to work with the new Math program in addition to our regular reading materials. I am really proud of all the students for how hard they worked last week in the GoMath program. It is very different, and they all gave a full effort to grasp the new challenge. Also, I am so pleased at how consistent so many of the students are about doing their homework nightly! Thank you for assisting them and installing such a good work ethic in their lives!
Have a warm and wonderful week!
Kind Regards,
Julie Brown
