Little Friends

We met with our little friends and read NIGHTTIME ANIMALS. When finished reading they had to tell us their favorite part and why. 

Light Test

Today they tested their minerals with a flashlight to see whether they were opaque, translucent, or transparent.

Books

Mrs. Glen shared how to login to our school library online so they can borrow books and read them on a Kindle, laptop, etc. A letter went home with their library number so you can access from home.

Flexible Seating

Moving throughout the day has proven to be most beneficial. They like the ability to choose where they'll sit at the start of each new activity.

Because of Winn Dixie

After reading the book, we watched the movie. Throughout the movie kids discussed similarities and differences from what was read.

Paper mache has dried and it is time to paint. 

Read to Someone

What a nice job they all did reading with a friend. We talked about the role of both the reader and the listener. Conversation about the reading should happen after ever page. They focused their discussion on how the Hamilton family showed responsibility while caring for the joey.

First Week

I'm so excited for this year to begin. The students are doing a good job learning daily routines. Here you see them using a math program that focuses on fact fluency. Some have also already logged in from home.
