It’s hard to believe that we are only a couple of weeks away from conferences and spring break! Just a reminder that if you can’t make your conference time, please contact me as soon as you can and I will find a time that works best for you.
Today the district’s gifted and talented department tested the children on the annual NNAT. As soon as we have the test results back I will be sharing those with you!
Language Arts: Last week we incorporated power writing. This is a great way for the children to create a structured paragraph. We really focused on transitional words and it helped many of the kids to stop from being repetitive. We also made new writing journals with the help of Mrs. Langworthy. The kids absolutely loved stamping and decorating. Thanks again Mrs. Langworthy! We also have been working on our letter writing. We are fortunate enough to have penpals from an elementary school in Wyoming, MI.
Social Studies: We continue to learn about Michigan and will be making our globes to help us with our mapping skills and identifying continents.
Science: The children are loving the bird unit. We are having so much fun learning about the many different parts of birds.
Math: We have just started unit 9. This unit focuses on multiplication, number stories, fact extensions, arrays, area, fractions, money, and lattice multiplication. We will also continue the timed tests. I am so impressed with how quickly the children are passing their tests, keep up the great work!
