Today during Literacy students were asked to write about a time they felt anticipation .  The students came up with a wide range of ideas, from upcoming family trips, to birthday parties, to waiting for a new family member to arrive.  Students picked a time they felt anticipation and wrote a short paragraph explaining what they were feeling anticipation about and describing how they felt and what they did to prepare for the event.  Some students will have their literacy books in their Home Communication folders because they did not finish the writing in class and will need to complete the activity at home.  Please allow your child to spend 10-15 minutes working on their writing to complete 3-4 good sentences about their memory of anticipation.  If the book is not in their folder, it means they completed the writing in class.

We have had a few very busy weeks! Thanks to all the parent volunteers who came to the CPO and Studio Bell with us! To see pictures and videos from yesterday's Studio Bell trip, please check out twitter! An email went home today to families who RSVP'ed for the Special Class Event. Please check your emails! We have been extra busy this week putting the finishing touches on our HP trailers. In Math we are working on SolveMe puzzles (link included in LINKS section). These involve a lot of problem solving and mental math. These are AMAZING problems to try at home! Students are learning a lot of strategies to become more efficient when solving these. As a challenge, we are trying to figure out puzzle 139 from the MASTERS section. We are learning about Hearing and Sound in Science. In Social Studies we are working to wrap up our study of India in the next few weeks. Lots of additional practices for the Christmas concert are underway. Students are excited to perform for yo...

Literacy  Today we began developing the Main Idea of our narrative stories.  We started with planning out what action our characters will take to solve the problem in their story,  so that we don't have the problem of getting to the end of the story and not knowing how to end it.  We also planned out two things that the character will try that are unsuccessful, before finally solving their problem. Math:  We are continuing to explore division and how it relates to multiplication. We are learning how to show our mathematical thinking in a variety of ways and learning different ways that we can check our own work to ensure we know we have successfully solved the equations. Ask your child to show you how to solve 12 ➗ 4 using more than 1 strategy. Science:   Our student teacher, Mr. Spackman, introduced new scientific vocabulary related to our new science unit, Testing Materials and Designs.  Students explored Compression Strength and Tensile Strength...
