In The Classroom...
We have so much happening in the coming weeks. Our end of the year will be here before you know it. We are working hard on RAP and written comprehension. The kids are producing some good responses to the questions they are working on in class. I know if they take their time they will do well on their End of Year assessments.
Most of the kids have finished publishing their fairytale. We made our book covers this week and are working on animating our class story. I cannot wait for our Storybook Ball on June 13th. It is going to be awesome!!! You will not want to miss it.
In Math we are working on comparison problems. These are a little tricky especially word problems that use the word "fewer". We will continue to work with these problem types next week.
The kids have been super excited to learn about China. I hope you've been hearing all about it. I'm hoping they will be able to connect our learning with all that I share through WeChat while I am away. A few of you have signed up for WeChat. I would love for more of you to connect. The kids are really interested in following my travels and it would be a great learning experience for them. The QR code that I sent home has expired, but I've included a new one in this newsletter. Download the app and scan the QR code to connect with our class page. This will allow you and the kids to see photos, videos and chat with me while I am away. Let me know if you have any questions.
We will begin our focus on plants next week and looking at seeds. The kids will be planting their very own seed and watch it as it grows. Be sure to ask them which type of seed they've planted.
I hope you all are enjoying your holiday weekend. Remember there is no school tomorrow. I will see the kids on Tuesday!
Take Care,
Ms. Gower
