This week we have been:
Getting ready for report cards by “showing what we know”. This has required a lot of focus, direction following, and thinking. The students have worked well, and earned themselves some special reading, drawing, clay, and dance breaks.
Finding out about each others families as we share our Family History books.
Reading books about families and traditions from other places and times, to get ready for our grandparent letters.
Writing our own family memories in our journals, as we get ready to use those as “seed stories” that will grow into bigger stories later.
Playing math games that help us learn map concepts, number patterns, place value, and number sense.
Next week we will:
Compare similar books with “double bubble” maps to stretch our thinking.
Learn about different family holiday celebrations and traditions. If you have a special tradition you would like to come in and share with us, let me know and we will set up a time.
Continue to explore the 100 chart as we learn more about skip counting, number ranges, and how the 100 chart is organized.
Nuts and Bolts
Coming home today is a permission form for our trip to the Children’s Theater in January. We are sending them home early in order to be sure to get them all back before the vacation, and to plan for volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, please let me know as soon as possible, since we have a limited number of parent tickets available. If we have more parents than tickets, we will draw names.
Please save those glass jars for our Art Docent project, and send them in as soon as possible. Any small glass jar will work - such as a jam jar. No lids are needed. Thanks!
