Exciting Things Are Happening



Sorry for not posting last night! In the future, just a heads-up, there may be days that I do not post due to having meetings or after school programs that I teach. I will do my best to post as often as possible.

Today we took our MAP Math test. At conferences, students will be given a goal to meet by the end of the year.  The hope and dream that I set for the class is that all students meet their personal MAP goals (both reading and math). We did a lot of reading to self today, as our MAP Test took up our entire reading block.

We got our caterpillars today!!!!!! Students got to observe their caterpillars and name them. We are so excited to watch them transform and become butterflies. Tomorrow, a teaching artist from Ballare Teatro will be coming into our classroom and will teach us through dance and movement the life cycle of butterflies. She will be coming three times total and the third time, we will perform in front of a kindergarten or first grade class.


Today we dissected our rules and made Y charts to help us remember what it looks like, sounds like, and feels like to follow each rule. 
The students  signed hands to accept the rules we set.


Yesterday, we made a Venn Diagram to help guide a discussion about the difference between poems and stories. The students did a great job and noticed a lot of things!


Kindness of the day:
Yesterday, Alfredo and Lucas worked together to sharpen a pencil! Today, Emilio helped Desmond get his lunch since he is on crutches L
