I hope you all had a great week. We spent Wednesday afternoon looking at maps. The point of the exercise was to learn about some geography terms, identify our town, state, country, continent, and world, and to identify that their is water in many places. We didn't have time to complete our all of the work and will continue the week after next. This will lead us toward the science concept of erosion and how water has impacted the shape of many land forms.
Yesterday morning, we had a visit form three members of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. They were three string players that go by the name Fiddlesticks. They took time to explain and demonstrate some of the instruments that they play. They then treated the students to a variety of songs and got the crowd involved too.The students spent time today writing in their Weekly News journals. Please take time to respond. There are a couple of kids that need a few more minutes to finish their writing at home over the weekend. Thank you in advance for your help with this.
NOTES:*Please make sure all of your child's winter gear has their name written somewhere on or in it. It makes it easier to get it back to them if they drop something in transit.
*There is reading homework over the weekend. Everyone has something they should read a a few have some questions to answer too.
Have a great weekend.
Peace,
Tommy
