Hi everyone,
I hope you all had a relaxing and fun sunny weekend! Here is what's happening in class:
Language Arts:
Today students wrote good copies of their Alliteration Poems. These are due tomorrow for those who did not finish.
We are planning to host a poetry cafe in June for parents! To prepare, we will be working on public speaking so that all students can read a personal piece at the cafe. Stay tuned for details! :-)
Math:
We are doing a big collaborative project with Mrs. Parsloe's class. The students' job is to design a playground, build a scale model of it and present the idea to the PAC to wrap up the unit. This project will cover a range of concepts such geometry, measurement and graphing. Students will work in groups and will be responsible for dividing up tasks and working cooperatively throughout the project.
Today we talked about perimeter and area and calculated the perimeter and area of basic shapes. Tomorrow students will be designing their own Mike Craft - inspired characters on graph paper and calculating the perimeter and area of their drawings. This will prepare us for going outside and looking at the area and perimeter of the existing playground.
*** There is a field trip notice that went out today for students to see a performance at Brackendale Elementary this Thursday. Please sign the forms and send them back as soon as possible. Thank you!
