It has been a fun week filled with an exciting walking field trip to the Decatur Book Festival for a presentation by Holly Goldberg Sloan! She will be talking about her book Appleblossom the Possum.
***If you are planning to walk with us please come to Westchester at 9:30 for our departure at 9:45!! All are welcome to join us!
Other info:
*Map testing is over for our fall session.
* I'm almost finished with data collection so I can share all of this information with you at our parent-teacher conferences.
* I will be sending a Sign-Up Genius link via email (& I'll post it here) on September 8th. If you don't see a time that is convenient for you, please email me directly and I will do my best to add a slot to accommodate you. :)
THIS WEEK IN 212
Science:
***I know the super nice Principal from GLOBE and I am hoping she will allow us to set up a class share***** :)
I have been watching the slide progress from home and I am enjoying the constructive critiques the children are sending to one another. I think they love the 'comment' feature of Google slides! I will use this as a tool frequently this year to promote the implementation of peer feedback and suggestions.
Reading:
We are continuing to "Build A Reading Life" by learning about self-assessment, setting new goals, and choosing reading partners. We will start Buddy Reading with Mrs. Wertz's Kindergarten class after the break. We have discussed the characteristics of a good reading partner in the classroom and drafted questions for reading interviews. Tomorrow the children will invite a friend to be their reading partner. Here are some photos of the interview process.
Math: We are finishing place value, rounding and decomposing numbers. Next week we will start MULTIPLICATION!! :)
Recess: Sand Volcanoes....
It's going to be an amazing year!! :)
