We will be starting new STEAM stations this week. Check this SIGN-UP GENIUS to see if you have any of these items around the house or that you could provide us. We are also still accepting old smartphones and chargers to add to our tech toolbox.
Last Week: The kids went over their first math assessments to understand expectations and how to make improvements. Reflection is always an important part of the learning process. Each student practiced knowing the difference between common and proper nouns so they can start using capital letters appropriately in their writing. They read myths and discovered how these folktales originated in different cultures to explain things in nature. We have shifted to our Cycles in Nature Unit. Knowing so much already about the life cycle of insects has allowed all the kids to transition seamlessly to our new unit.
Your teachers were at the California Science Teachers Association Conference in Sacramento Friday and all weekend learning to better facilitate learning through our new science standards. We had lots of fun and came back with lots of new ideas. Check out the Twitter feed in the right-hand bar to see our adventures!
This Week: Your students will be working together in Language Arts to read and collect information from text. They are synthesizing that information to develop ideas and write about them. They will be exploring place value in Math and we will continue our unit on cycles with plants. Students will be designing and testing their own pollinators using engineering practices.
