As we approach the long Presidents' Day weekend, we wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that there will be no school on Friday or Monday. We hope you all enjoy a fantastic holiday weekend filled with relaxation and cherished moments.
Now, let's dive into the exciting highlights of our recent classroom adventures:
Exploring Values with "A Penny's Worth of Character"
In our current literary journey, we've delved into the pages of "A Penny's Worth of Character." This thought-provoking read has opened up discussions on the delicate balance between personal desires and making morally sound choices. Through these conversations, we're discovering the power of making correct and ethical decisions.
Navigating Word Problems in Math
Our math sessions have been both challenging and rewarding as we tackle word problems. Drawing bar models, though sometimes confusing, proves to be a valuable tool in structuring problems for solution. With persistent practice each day, our students are developing essential problem-solving skills that will serve them well.
Crafting Engaging Paragraphs about Alfred the Great
The writing journey continues with our ongoing project of crafting paragraphs about the historical figure, Alfred the Great. Our focus on incorporating strong verbs and impactful adverbs aims to elevate the quality and interest level of our writing. Stay tuned as these paragraphs near completion in the coming week!
Artistic Expressions: Clay Valentine's Hearts
In the art realm, creativity took a delightful turn as we crafted Valentine's Hearts out of clay. These unique creations were fired in a kiln, resulting in a beautiful array of styles and designs. Check out the attached picture to witness the artistic diversity of our students.
Chemical Magic in Science Class
The magic of science came alive as we ventured into the realm of Chemical Magic! Exploring concepts of chemistry and conservation of matter, our students had the opportunity to clean old pennies using chemical reactions. Excitement is building as we prepare to dissolve a steel nail – science is truly an adventure!
Grammar Growth: Storytelling with a Twist
Our grammar story is unfolding, much like the nose of a character in our workbook. We continue our practice of prepositional phrases and the identification of subject-verb pairs, enhancing our understanding of language structure.
Typing Triumphs: Speeding Towards Success
The typing journey is soaring with remarkable improvements. We're now focusing on mastering capitals for each typing group we've learned. The progress is undeniable, and we encourage students to continue their diligent practice at home. Don't forget to sign your student's daily log sheets to celebrate their achievements.
As we embark on this holiday weekend, we wish everyone a relaxing and enjoyable time. Thank you for your continued support in our shared journey of learning and growth.
Best regards,
The Teacher (Tim)
