Winters' Wonderings
Week of October 15-26, 2018
The Week in Review...
We...
- learned how important it is to never give up when pursuing our dreams...even when it gets difficult from our 7 Mindsets lesson
- learned that the "magic e" helps our vowels flip their sounds to the long sound.
- learned the rule for when the letter c makes the hard and soft sounds.
- practiced writing the 4 different types of sentences.
- read the Ugly Vegetables and identified all of the story elements. We discussed how the characters changed from the beginning to the end of the story.
- took our first math test on Shapes and their Attributes.
- got to see a chemical reaction in science that was supposed to make our clay balls rise to the surface of the water...but our experiment didn't work, so we also were able to experience an experiment fail. We learn from those, as well!
- enjoyed spending time with our Grandparents and VIPs on Friday!
GRANDPARENTS'/VIP DAY
A few of our costumed kiddos!

All Park students singing "A Million Dreams" for our VIPs

I got to be a VIP for Casey!
We had such a great time!
