STEAM Expo
Thank you so much for coming to our STEAM Expo.  It was a great having you all come in to celebrate the learning we have been doing here at A2STEAM.  Thank you!

Curriculum Overview
Science - We are beginning a Project Lead The Way unit on the structure and function of the human body!  We started today by exploring the idea of bones and muscles, as well as organs like the lungs, heart, and stomach.

Math - We are studying the US coins, their values, and how to do simple addition and subtraction with money.  As a society we don’t often use coins anymore.  If you can, take a minute, show your student a handful of coins, and review with them the names and values.

Literacy - We are reading books about the human body to support the learning of our Project Lead The Way unit on the Human Body.  We will also read a few fiction books to review the feeling of characters and how they change across a text.

Writing - Students are going to be doing some writing around the new Project Lead The Way unit on the Human Body.  Before that begins I want to do some writing about characters and their feelings in fiction books.

Word Study - This week we are going to review syllables and go over some more complex word families like -ould and -ight words.

The Friday before break Ms. Fitzgibbon helped us wrap up March is Reading Month

by reading Keiko Kasza’s My Lucky Day.  It was also pajama day.

Over the break the plant many of you saw at expo reached through the hole and into the sunlight.
