How often do your children come home and give you the answers of "SCHOOL WAS FINE" or "NOTHING" when you ask them what they did today? We recognize that and now our students are informing all the parents about what they are learning by completing this section of the newsletter! Each week, different students from each class will collaborate and put together what they are excited to share about their learning. Below is a picture of our reporters for the week!
Kindergarten (Madelyn, Roan, Katie): We are reading picture books and we are learning how to work together and change groups. We are drawing story pictures in writing. In math we are learning about numbers and shapes. Shapes are on the board, we get our clip boards, and we talk about what we notice. We play with our friends in our classroom during choice time. We play with blocks, the kitchen, and toys. We also get to go on the playground!
1st Grade (Grace, Brooke, Luca): We are learning how to make 10 in math in different ways. We are reading books from our book bins. We read books that are level books and we read interest books. We are also playing education games on the computers.
2nd Grade (Miriam, Genevieve): We are writing personal narratives. We are doing addition and subtraction. In social studies we are learning about our community. 2nd grade is really cool!
3rd Grade (Delia, Leah, Ryan): We are learning rounding in math. For science we are learning about termites and how they follow different patters with different shapes and different materials. For writing we have been doing our summer writing where we write about what we did over the summer. We also read a couple of books like Enemy Pie. At the end of the day we are also reading Mr. McGee books. We love our free reading time and learning new, hard things. We love finally being up stairs!
4th Grade (Garrett, Brady): In Math, we are finishing up place value to the hundred thousands place. In ELA we are reading stories and then we have questions to relate / connect to the story. Next week we are starting to read Frindle and writing personal narratives. Social Studies has been fun learning about maps and the different types of maps. Our science experiment was to take a dropper to see how many drops of water we could fit on a penny. We then worked together to find what the average was. 4th grade is really fun!
5th Grade (Matthew, Daniel): Right now in Math we are doing two digit by two digit multiplication. In Language Arts we are reading "Wonder" and working on summarizing. Our teachers are teaching us how to take notes about what is important when reading. We can work with friends and assigned partners too. One of our teachers sings all the time!
Phys Ed (Ameila): In phys ed we are learning how to throw and catch correctly. We have a partner or a group of 3 and you run between the cones and then they throw the ball to the aiming target who they has to catch it while running. We are learning how to make good throws.
Art (Zach): In Kindergarten art we have been painting rainbow and fish. We are using water colors. We are also cutting our rainbows and then we glued our cutting onto a black paper. When we are done, we get to free color. We have had art two times!
Music (Montgomery): In third grade music, we have been learning the songs for our veteran's day concert. The songs that we learned are about the Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, and Air Force. We are having so much fun!
Media (Fiona): In 4th grade media center, we are doing an assignment about book care. We are creating slide shows to show the younger students how to take care of their books and the library.
ESL (Petro): In ESL we are learning more and more writing and reading. We get better and better each year.
