Please forgive me for not posting more regularly! I've taken LOTS of pictures and I hope that I have time to get them uploaded soon (after I finish report cards!)
First of all, we have been learning about our Community through Jr. Achievement. Mrs. Moser (Grace's mom) has been leading us through this series of 5 lessons. Last week, we pretended to be employees of the Sweet O Doughnut Shop and learned about unit production and assembly line production. Ask your child about what they learned!
In Science, we've completed a unit on SOUND and now we are studying SPIDERS. We'd love to do an experiment with a garden spider, so if you find one, send it in!
In reading, we are busy working with our guided reading groups and literacy centers. We do whole group lessons also when we read out of our basal reader.
In Writing Workshop, we are using the ideas of a real author to talk about focus and starting our stories with zip and pizazz!
Grandparent/VIP Day was so much fun. The kids did an awesome job on their program, didn't they? I have LOTS of great pictures that I hope to upload soon...make sure you tell grandma and grandpa to check to see their picture on our website!
We had our 2nd Tasty Tuesday today. We made Cheesy Spider Webs...what a yummy snack! Maybe your child will want to make these at home sometime....
I look forward to meeting with you next week for conferences. Maybe Fall Break will give me some extra time to get those pictures posted!!
