Great Learning On the Field Trip

On the field trip students took mental images of the bark on different trees.

Field Trip
Thank you so much for getting all the Room K-3 students ready for the field trip last week.  A huge thank you as well to the chaperones.  The trip went well, there are many photos up in the Room K-3 Photo gallery.

Music Informance
Thank you for coming out to Mrs. Huckabone’s Music Informance.  They students were excited to perform for you.  If you have children in the upper grades Ms. Huckabone asked that I pass along this schedule of performances for every grade level.

Curriculum Overview
Science - We are beginning a Project Lead The Way unit on the structure and function of the human body!  Students began assembling a miniature (and simplified) human body on paper last week.

Math - In class this week we will introduce the analog clock and begin learning how to read time.

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 will go over some more complex word families and look at how words are spelled with the -oo and -ould sounds which can sometimes be confusing.  Words like room, wood, and could.
