Happy Tuesday-
On Friday, Students had
a blast with the Zoomers during our Balance and Motion Science Unit. Some of
the kids got them to work right away while it took others a little while to
figure them out. They were tricky! I have a picture of the zoomers on my ipad, but for some reason it doesn't want to upload.
Also on Friday, our
Strawberry reading group performed a Reader’s Theater for the class. It was
very funny and opened up a great discussion about bugs, people, and treating
others the way we want to be treated.
Students have been
working very hard during Daily 5. I have been trying to find a good method of
how to keep track of what centers the students get to each day and how to make
sure that they get to Read to Self and Word Work every day. Yesterday, I
introduced a “Daily 5 Checklist”. Students keep track of the centers they go to
by marking the box under the day of the week that correlates with that center.
After Daily 5, I go around and check each checklist and make sure that centers
were marked. So far, it seems to be working well.
Today, students made
Twirlers in Science. We observed how different twirlers move and what makes
them move differently.
In writing, we began
changing our animal report notes into sentences. Today, we did the
characteristics of our animals. Tomorrow, we will focus on the habitat.
Tomorrow Khandy will
return and teach the children about 2 more pieces of artwork that they will see
at the MIA on Friday. We will also visit the library to check out new books. At
1:30 every Wednesday, starting tomorrow, we will meet with our brand new book
buddies! Mrs. Farrell’s kindergarten class will be buddying up with our 2nd
grade class and will read for 20 minutes together. Sometimes, we will have
activities and games for the students to play, but the students will mostly be
reading together.
Have a wonderful
evening!
