We have been busy in the classroom! Lots of learning is taking place! We have had the opportunity to spend each Wednesday with our Kindergarten buddies. The third graders are helping Kindergartners read their books. I love watching our class help others! They also had the chance to help their buddy with a Halloween art project. It was lots of fun! Math: We started our second unit off with rounding to the nearest 10 and 100. Students brainstormed how rounding is used in the real world and why it is a good skill to have! We came up with a list of ideas: grocery store, driving, money, and the list goes on! Reading: Our mystery unit is coming to an end. We will get to celebrate all the mystery books and skills we learned next week! I am excited for what is in store. I know the students will love it! They have done a great job reading mystery books to identify the mystery, the crime solver, the suspects, and paying attention to clues! Writing: We are about to publish our narratives!! The students have been working on these and are ready to put the final piece together! I can't wait to see the final outcome of them. They are terrific authors filled with creative ideas! Science: We finished our "Who We Are" unit and have started our "How the World Works" unit. This unit is an inquiry into force and motion. We kicked off the unit by exploring a handful of different stations, all which included some sort of force/motion (however the students did not know this). The students were inquirers. As they were exploring each station, they had to write down what they noticed. WOW! Some of their responses and ideas were OUT OF THIS WORLD. So brilliant! Social and Emotional Learning:
We have started our third Social and Emotional Learning Unit. Please look for the parent letter that should be coming home this week. This unit is all about communication, a very important skill that teachers are noticing lacking across the school. We feel fortunate to be able to practice the skill in our classroom. It would be great for it to be continued into your home as well. Students will be bringing home some tips that you can use at home. I hope everyone had a TERRIFIC weekend! The weather has been beautiful!
