Last week I had students share something they had learned on video. We are working to put everything into one complete Expo video. |
EXPO This Thursday at 5:00 PM
Spring Expo is scheduled for this Thursday, March 22nd. Our classroom presentation starts at 5:00 PM. Like with our Fall Expo expect traffic and difficult parking. The students are excited to share what they have learned. Unlike last time most students elected not to have live, whole-group, speaking parts, instead they recorded something they had learned for a video. More information and the full expo schedule can be found here.
Steam Expo Attire
The goal for our STEAM Expo is to have all students dress up a bit and look nice. Students are presenting the work they have done and we want them to feel the importance of the night. Have your students dress up but don’t feel like you need to be too fancy; a nice pair of slacks, a collared shirt, blouse, or dress etc. are all good choices.
Report Cards
Report cards went home last Thursday. They were in a 9 x 12 yellow envelope. The envelope needs to be signed and returned to school. You keep the report card. Please do not throw out the envelope, send it back to me. Also please sign one of the copies of the Personal Learning Plan and return that as well.
Curriculum Overview
Science - We are preparing to share our learning at this Thursday's expo. Students have been recording videos and on Tuesday we will have our first full practice.
Reading - We have been reading fiction books that show animals and their needs. Ask your child about Little One by Jo Weaver the story of a bear cub and her mother.
Writing - We are writing about what we have learned about the needs of animals.
Math - Student's have been learning their doubles addition facts and seeing how those facts can relate to subtraction problems. For instance if you know 5 + 5 = 10 then you also know that 10 - 5 = 5.
Word Study - We are focused on the vocabulary words necessary for our current PBL unit on living things: herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, domestic, wild, stem, roots, leaves, flowers, healthy, unhealthy, and more.
