Thank you to all the families that have already sent in gifts for our Family Helping Families. Just a reminder to please post and check the Family Helping Families Blog to post the gifts that you are sending in.
Our students uploaded and reflected their Grizzly Bear Project onto Iris so parents can check it out. We will be using their areas for growth and goals as we begin another project. We are really excited to begin working on our independent inquiry questions this week. Students will continue to further develop writing skills to support their work in the research process.
We started a math project today with both classes combined. This is a project that we will be working on over the next few weeks is called What do people eat in the world? Students will be analyzing different families from around the world and figuring out what they eat and the cost of the food. They will then create their own weekly family menu and compare their families menu to the families from around the world. During this project students will be working on diverse addition and multiplication strategies.
In writing, the students were introduced to free writing about an area of interest or expertise. Students choose 3 topics that they know a lot about and will be picking one that they could write the most information about (their experts and can write specific details about this topic). Ask your child what topics they picked and have them tell you everything they know about it. You can help them decide which one they 'could' pick by the amount of knowledge they have about it. ;0)
A reminder to students to log into RAZKIDS and Mathletics to practice important reading and math skills at least 1-2 times per week.
