I am thankful for my fun students. Every morning I tell them, "be brave and be kind", and they are! They work hard to try new things and to take care of each other. This week we were especially caring as we said "good-bye" to our classmate, Abby. She will be in a new school beginning sometime the week of December 2. The students were very kind as they supported her transition and made sure she had a positive departure knowing that she was leaving good friends who were nice to her. We enjoyed playing with dough and basketballs for her special event.
- to add 2-digit numbers on an open number line.
- how to use Infobits for our short research on landforms and bodies of water.
- a new morning meeting game called "Where's My Penguin?".
This week we experienced:
- more real-life writing types with signs and notes.
- RAZ-Kids; an online reading system.
- new tools in our Peace Place.
- creating models of the Champlain Valley with flour & salt dough (see pictures below).
- making concrete number lines with red & white beads
- measuring classroom objects with different non-standard units
- our bracelet making Marky Mark celebration
- different types of landforms and bodies of water
Thank you for scheduling our Parent/Teacher Conference. I am enjoying our time together and look forward to our upcoming meetings Monday and Tuesday. I appreciate your support and this time to collaborate on your child's growth.
Enjoy the week with family and friends!
Mrs. Hock
