Posted on Sunday, February 24th, 2019 at 4:32 pmHello Everyone!

Spelling Bee Tuesday! This Tuesday the 26th will be Spelling Bee day! We have our top spellers ready to do their best for Tuesday’s Bee day. Our spellers will be: Franky, Alex, and Jax. Joseph is our alternate in case someone is absent or backs out. The Lower El Bee will be from 9am-10am. Parents are welcome to come and watch. Parents with those students in our bee are highly encouraged to be there to support their student.
Wednesday– Class Pictures rescheduled day! With the snow last week, we didn’t have everyone. Again, we will try this Wednesday! Our class and other the other lower el classrooms will attend a Storytelling festival assembly in the afternoon at 1:30pm. Any cultural lesson we don’t get to will be made up Thursday. WSU is also bringing us science boxes. Our 3rd graders will work with the dinosaur box this Wednesday
Black History Month in Class Project: This coming week is History Week for our school. The Junior High is preparing their projects for March 5th’s presentation day, but for our lower elementary each classroom is running activities, lessons, and readings on a topic of their choice. Our classroom will be honoring February’s Black History Month. We have been reading Scholastics and we also did a learning on George Washington Carver (the inventor of peanut butter) this past week. This coming week the students will get to choose an African American to learn more about. We will hang up our classroom’s research and displays outside our classroom.
As we get into March we will honor Women’s Month. This theme’s new bucket is Interdependence (Feb 25th-April 12th). We will focus on cultural acceptance, peace lessons and how things we know and use have progressed over time (clothes, food, inventions etc.). We will also move from the USA states to begin a South America study. The last theme, Liberty and Justice for All will be a North America study.
We are reaching a stage in our curriculum where reviews will begin to take place on lessons already learned. New language lessons pertaining to our word study and grammar towers are tapering off for some levels. As we get into March I am going to hold lessons on poetry, figurative language, storytelling, and combine what they have learned in word study and grammar into these lessons. Next week we will get into new writing lessons on opinions as well that will take us to the end of the year.
Have a great upcoming week and rest of your weekend!
