On a lighter note, I have scheduled our first field trip! We will be going to The Center for Wooden Boats (South Lake Union) on Friday, October 18th. It will be a fun trip where students will participate in the "What Floats Your Boat" program. Students will get to make their own toy wooden boats and test them out on the water. We will also go ON the boats and paddle on South Lake Union. I am so excited for this field trip coming up - forms will be sent home tomorrow!
Highlights:
-Learned more writing strategies and will begin writing personal narratives next week!
-We started a new math unit on: Addition & Subtraction. Homework and in-class work will be tailored around this concept.
-Planted our seeds (Brassica rapa plant) and they started growing already! Check out pictures of our watering system, lamp, and growing plants at the bottom of this post.
-We learned about different genres of literature this week, and we review for the next couple of weeks the different reading comprehension strategies.
-Picture Day is next Friday! October 4th - picture forms will come home soon, so fill those out quickly and return them ASAP.
-Our first MAP Test will be on that same Friday. Please make sure your child is not absent and well-rested that day.
-Please fill out the field trip form and return as soon as possible!
