 Our last group finally had a chance to share their play! They did a great job acting (and dressing) like their characters!

 

Our class team, the Amazing Eagles. Ask your child about our team cheer!

We had fun celebrating Christopher Columbus Day. We learned that Christopher Columbus never made it to the United States of America, he actually first landed on San Salvador.

What we are learning in school:
Language Arts: This week we worked on making connections and inferring. Students practiced reading a text and then used their background knowledge and facts from the text to infer (figure something out).

Math: We have started practicing multiplication this week! So far we have covered 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 10s. Please help your child practice these at home. I will be coming up with an incentive for students who master all of their facts. I will send more info about that home after fall break!

Genius Hour: This week the Walkathon was during our Genius Hour time, so we did not do any research on our projects. Our class won a team spirit award at the Walkathon!
