Dodge & Z-Puppets :)


Good morning!
Yesterday we went to the Dodge Nature Center for a lesson called Air Around Us. The students had a wonderful time using wind meters and learning about the air we breath.  Students’ homework last night was to share the writing they did in class about something they learned and their favorite part of the field trip.  
We also took our spelling tests yesterday and reviewed our classroom rules.

This morning, students met in guided reading groups and did their Daily 5 jobs. When the students return from specialists, we will read our weekly reader which is about endangered animals and how we can help them. We will also watch Moreland Today and have our healthy snack, pineapples. In math today, we will be taking a common formative assessment that looks at students’ money counting skills. Our hopes are that after Unit 10 is finished, students will show growth when given the same assessment after learning and practicing this skill.

At 1:20, we will go to the gym to watch Z-Puppets perform! This is a wonderful program that the students at Moreland will be working with to learn about different coping skills for everyday stressors.  Z-Puppets did a family event last night and another this morning.

Friday folders will be sent home today. Please be sure to check out our weekly newsletter and other information inside.

I hope you have a wonderful day and weekend!
