Week 26 Recap
Posted in Classroom, Field Trips, Grace and Courtesy, Peace, Shared School | No Comments »Hi Everyone!
Past Week:
We took a break from our morning Daily Starters and we read books as a class to get to know some famous African Americans that helped change history and were important figures. The students worked on choosing an important figure for Black History Month. We have a few students who need to finish up, so we’ll work on hanging up their person of choice outside our classroom. This past Monday afternoon I had a Harriet Tubman puzzle to put in order for each kid to do and also a timeline of Rosa Parks.
This past Tuesday was the school’s Spelling Bee! The Lower El one was quite the nail biter at the end, but it was fun to witness! It went for an hour and half and our class did a great job sitting.
Wednesday was our afternoon assembly from WSU’s Story Tellers. Two storytellers came and told verbal stories to all of lower el. Before we went to the assembly, our 3rd graders got to experience the dinosaur box I checked out for them from Weber State. It cast models from real fossils that gave our kids some great fun visuals to see and feel regarding the dinosaur periods and dinosaurs we have been discussing. The kids loved the box!
Friday in the afternoon we went back to review some scientific method skills and I had them do an activity called, The Cat’s in the Bag. I had 8 bags and split the students up into small groups. They had to guess the mystery items in their group’s bag and write detailed notes using as many senses as they could use. The kids loved this activity and we will revisit it in a different way in the next few weeks.
Upcoming Week:
This upcoming week is our field trip to Union Station on Tuesday. We will have recess at 11am and eat lunch at school at 11:30am. After lunch we will restore the room and get ready to find rides at 12:30pm. If you are taking your student or a carpool, please please arrive at the school no later than 12:30pm. Ms. Misha doesn’t work on Tuesday afternoons, so I will need everyone to pick up their child/carpool at North Shore. This way I don’t have to hang back with anyone and we can all arrive to Union Station at the same time. Once you arrive to Union Station, please keep the children in the car until I arrive. Pick up at Union Station will begin at 2:30pm. If you have your own child, you don’t have to return back to MMA. If a student is getting a carpool from you and needs to return to MMA, then they will head back and I will dismiss them from class at regular dismissal time.
We will continue to work on cultural acceptance lessons and skills. This week we will talk about what does it mean to be a world citizen.
