We've had a busy and productive week here in room 250! We enjoyed getting out with the beautiful weather and can't wait for more time as the year continues on!
Important information:
- The information regarding the China project was sent home on Thursday on a yellow sheet of paper. Please read it over and assist your child in what they may need, for example printing pictures off the internet or gathering materials. This is a project they can do on their own with just a little help from you so please keep that in mind as they are working. Thank you!
- Next Thursday, May 11, is an early release day with dismissal at 12:30.
3, 2, 1 things you should know about our week...
3 math activities we concentrated on were measuring with meters and centimeters ( and the relationship between the two units of measurement), measuring various items of choice in the classroom using a variety of measuring tools, and stretching our mind with an activity called "The Race" where we needed to ask questions, focus on our work and showing the work in a logical way, and talking through our thinking...not just getting the right answer. This was a challenging one for us but overall they did a great job!
2 strategies we worked on in reading were determine the why in a pourqoui story (such as Why is the sun and moon in the sky?) and determine the lesson of a short play we participated in. The groups worked very well together on this play and I'm impressed with how much their fluency and speaking aloud has grown over the year. Check out a few pics below!
1 new activity we have started recently is "Stump Mr. DeKing"! We call Mr. DeKing and ask him a question related to our curriculum work for the week and see if he can answer. Today we asked him, How many inches are in a meter?...do you know the answer? Ask your child for the answer. Today he even asked them a question!
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. DeKing
