Good Evening,
I hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine (I think that is what it is called) over the weekend. I was psyched to have no plans on Sunday and used the day to just relax. This past week we conducted another science investigation and used the scientific process to see if permanent markers were truly permanent. The kids tested different solutions to determine if their hypothesis was correct or not.
Our writing focus this week was a response to the story Hey Little Any by Phillip Hoose. The story is about a young boy who comes across an ant, and wants to squish him flat, however he begins to question whether he should or not, after hearing the perspective of the little ant he is trying to squish. The story ends with the students deciding what the boy should do. The students then used persuasive writing to convince me on their decision.
On Friday, the whole school accomplished their We Rock ticket goal and the school celebrated with a sledding and hot chocolate celebration at the end of the day. As always, the kids really seemed to enjoy it and it was a great way to wrap up the week. Our next student focus will be exhibiting great behaviors in all of the specials classes.
NOTES:
I will be running basketball camps again this summer. I will do a incoming 2nd-4th grade boys and girls, a 5-9 boys and a 5-9 girls. Please click here for the camp brochure. Each camp is capped at 30 participants.
REPEAT: Valentines: It's hard to believe but it will be here in a short amount of time. We will hand out valentines but not be having a party on this day. It is most likely going to be a winter sports program day so it will happen in the morning. All I ask is that if a kid is giving out a valentine, they do it for every student in the class. Here is a class roster:
Ava, Zip, Hazel, Olive, Rowen, Nora, Amelie, Landen, Edie, Ashton, Wiley, Finn, Annabelle, Warren, Miles, Jacob, Patrick, Keagan.
That is all for now. I hope you all have a great week.
Peace,
Mr. Young
