September 26th, 2016

Greetings,
    
     We had one of the best times on Friday with our cow eyeball dissection. I am not sure if the parents or kids had more fun! I had a blast! It was such a wonderful learning experience for us all. I want to thank our parents for volunteering their time to help dissect. I will post some photos on Seesaw this week sometime.  


     Grandparent's Day - It is here!! Monday, September 26th at 1:40 p.m. We will have a short performance in the FEMA gym, then a tea party in the classroom. Other family members are welcome to come if grandparents are unable.


     Parent Teacher Conferences will be the last week in October (October 24th-27th). I will have a sign up emailed to you in about a week. It will be through sign-up genius. 


     We have been doing a book study on an author name "Patricia Pollocco". Most of her books are a reflection of her life growing up as a child. We have used her stories to teach us about making connections, inferences, and predictions. We have also been writing about our favorite "Patricia Pollocco" books. Students are learning to write an opinion about books and how to summarize their favorite part of a story.
    
     This week will continue reading "Patricia Pollocco" books and do some research on her personal life. We will also focus on writing a story with a beginning, middle and ending. In math we are going to work on using number bonds and greater/less than. During word work we will focus on the phonograms ph and aw.
