Week 26 Recap
Posted on Sunday, March 4th, 2018 at 7:50 pmHello Everyone and Happy March!
This past week was very busy!
Past Week:
We had Literacy Week this past week and our week was filled with book activities and events! On Tuesday we watched as our 3 top spellers participated in the school’s annual Spelling Bee! Jax, Makiah, and Ella all did very well. Ella even was in the top 3! I am so very proud of them in what they accomplished.
We read the book Ishi, a book about a rock having a tough time, but then finds a way to bring its happiness back. Our classroom made our own Ishi book as well as a 2 page spread of our own Ishi experience for the school’s “Ishi book.”
Thursday we had our Literacy Night! I had a blast running the Harry Potter Trivia with Ms. Kirsten. If you got to come and see, the floating candles and witch hats were made by our class 🙂
On Friday we had studio and then did Dr. Seuss activities in the afternoon until the school wide Read-a-thon.
Since our week was busy with new activities and events we were unable to do cultural lessons this week. We will make up Botany this coming week.
In group lessons this week I had the Antelopes and Badgers language group work on expanding their sentences to be able to add more details and sound more interesting. The Crocs worked on how to write a letter and learned the set up.
In math, everyone worked on their Geometry:
Level 1s: Kinds of lines in polygons
Level 2s: How to use a protractor and identify acute and obtuse angles
Level 3s: Area practice
