Week 28 Recap
Posted on Monday, March 18th, 2019 at 1:59 pmHi Everyone!
Upcoming Week:
Reminder that I will be out of town beginning Thursday. I will return Tuesday of next week. I will be attending the annual AMS Montessori Conference being held in Washington DC this year. There will be 2 subs- Ms. Alicia will cover for Thursday and next Monday and Ms. Amber will cover for Friday of this week. We will follow a pretty normal schedule for the week. This Friday I have left Misha some South America lessons and art work to do with the kids in the morning.
A Fire Drill will take place on Wednesday
Gala– The school’s Gala is this coming Saturday! You can still purchase tickets at the door. It will be up at Snowbasin this year.
Past Week:
This past week was Literacy Week. The kids enjoyed the Dr. Seuss story of the day in our class and little activities we had throughout the week. Thanks to a lot of you who came out for Literacy Night! I had a great time making bookmarks and seeing their familiar faces! The themed book for the school was called I Am Peace. It was a book that talked about mindfulness. We as a class have talked about trying to incorporate more guided mediations to practice mindfulness in our classroom.
We had Botany with Ms. Rachael this past Tuesday and she went over food chains with the kids. She even showed pond water from Harrisville Park under her projected microscope and the kids go to witness even the simplest of creatures doing their food chain jobs. They really loved it!
In cultural this week 3r graders wrapped up all 3 periods in the Mesozoic Era and next time we meet we will go over the theories scientists use on how they believe dinosaurs have gone extinct. 1st graders have been working on time and most have done really well knowing time up to the quarter hour. This is something you can work on and practice at home. 2nd graders are wrapping up fundamental human needs in relation to world culture and being a good citizen. We talked about communication this past week and have been going over their research about what countries speak what languages. 1st graders went over external parts of a mammal in Zoology and 2nd graders are working at their own pace towards researching and reading about different kinds of animals. 3rd graders have begun studying each part of a flower and began with the stamen (the pollen producing part of the flower).
Upcoming Events:
The Earth Day movie field trip is a go! It will take place on April 18th and the movie will begin at 9:15am. Transportation for this field trip will need to have students dropped off at the Megaplex at Ogden’s Junction next to Fly High. Please have them dropped off at the front by 8:50am. Please email me and Katie, our room mom (misskt2558@yahoo.com) if your child needs a ride and pick up to and from the movie theater. I will email certain families to see if they can chaperone as the movie theater only wants each class to provide 3. The film should run about 70 mins or so we aren’t 100% sure how long the film is, so please be at the Megaplex for pick up at 10:30am. Cover letters will be sent out soon!
Our Planetarium field trip is now May 1st. This will be an all day field trip 🙂 More to come
Have a great rest of your week! I will NOT be making a post this coming weekend due to traveling.
Ms. Kaley and Ms. Misha
