JUNE!!!
News this week in Room 105
-
Every single day these students amaze me with their energy, intelligence, and compassion. They are thinking outside the box and challenging each other and me.
Taking a CLOSER Look
Our school has obtained access to some really cool microscopes...
The high-powered microscopes that connected to our Apple TV and iPads when magnified and gave students a look at some normal things in a big way. The images below were snapped while we were working!
Staying Engaged!
Students who are "fast finishers" get to stretch their minds.
This week and next, students have an "I'm Done!" checklist to use when they finish work. This will encourage students to work independently at their own pace.
CAREER DAY
This week we had the chance to have 3 different speakers for Hillcrest's first Career Day. We heard from members of the Belton Police Department, the Belton School District Technology Department, and a Crowne Plaza HR Director. Students heard how they came into their jobs, who they work with, and details of their work days. It was a wonderful experience!
LOVING LEGOs
This week, we are also working with our classroom Legos. I am sooooo amazed at what these little minds come up with. They had a list of basic challenges to choose from including building a pyramid and something with all blue bricks. Their builds were incredible!
Reading Fun
All week we took time out to "DEAR" (Drop Everything And Read) each day. We read outside, with buddies, with our 4th grade friends, and in the library with flashlights. So FUN!! Thank you, again, to those who contributed to our Read-A-Thon. The school raised $800.00. Please send any missing donations on Monday.
Grade Cards and Yearbooks
Yearbooks are in my possession. I will hand them out on Monday. We will have an autograph session with other 1st grade classes on Tuesday. Students who did not purchase a yearbook will be given an autograph packet to use at that time.
Additionally, look for an email with grades to be sent between Wednesday and Friday of next week.
