Thank you to the dads who came and moved the loft away from the wall. I can't wait to come back and see the pretty blue wall and the kids can't wait for the loft to be moved back, so they can read in it again.
I hope you all are receiving notifications when your child posts in See Saw. Instead of trying to put pictures on the blog (which didn't always work and took forever) students will post on See Saw and you'll get a peek into their world at school. This week most students posted a fun math activity that provided a visual for them to better understand the concepts of multiplication. Also, in the ILC yesterday Mrs. Bates taught them about character traits and then students used the app Draw and Tell to show their learning. They posted their recordings on See Saw in our reading folder. This lesson was a great introduction to the lessons on using a character's dialogue, feelings, and actions to infer their traits. Later today they will also post their final product in their STEAM build. QUESTIONS TO ASK: What are the three branches of government and who is in charge of each? What is the commutative property and how does it help us solve multiplication problems? Tell me the small moment story you are writing about. Ask them questions to help them remember the details so they can add them to their narratives. REMEMBER: - No parent journals this week and no need to sign planners over break. NEXT WEEK: Math - Now that the students have a better understanding of the concepts of multiplication we will begin exploring the patterns and how to learn the facts. Students will begin practicing facts at home in the 2nd quarter. KEEP reviewing those addition facts now, please! Language Arts - After a few lessons on characterization we will begin using the novel Because of Winn Dixie to help them better understand characters and infer answers in the text. Please do Not let them watch the movie until we finish the novel. Social Studies - We will continue our study of government. Have a great fall break with lots of family time!
