Good afternoon!
This morning we had an assembly where we watched the 2nd grade play on outer space. Both Lillian and Jonas performed; they did a fabulous job!
We also worked on the Weekly News journals this morning. The students are bringing their weekly news home this week. Read their entries and feel free to write a note back! We always read some of the parent's notes back on Monday during morning meeting.
This morning we worked on science. The students answered the question "Why are there no square wheels?" in their science notebooks. The students needed to use their observations and learning from a previous days experiment to answer the question. The students had fifteen minutes to write or draw their answer. After, we had a discussion of this question. It was very exciting! Students were using words such as round, gravity, points, etc. It was great to see them thinking and coming up with the answer on their own.
This afternoon we continued with our Investigations Math Unit and we ended the day at art class.
On Monday, Tom will be out of the classroom for his last science course. I will be subbing for Tom on Monday. I'm having a wonderful year meeting all of your children.
Have a wonderful weekend! Stay dry in the rain.
