Welcome to Green House 5
with Ms. May Voltz
October 26 - 30, 2020
Dear Green House FamiLEE!
We've been working on some awesome science activities learning about refraction and reflection this week. Please enjoy a few of our photos and videos! Learners are getting better and better at creating videos and speaking so confidently about their learning. We were very fortunate to have our district science director Mr. Whitfield join us on a Zoom to help us get our non-fiction science books organized and started. As we finalize our plant and animal choices, learners will complete research and work together to write and illustrate our class book.
In math, we enjoyed some good family 'discussions' to balance the bean budget! The conversations were absolutely delightful in their ZOOM breakout rooms. Listening to ten-year-olds make housing, clothing, eating out, and even insurance decisions was truly fun for me! A good lesson in "don't grow up too fast!"
A gentle reminder that this week is our final week of the RJ Lee PTO Write a Check Campaign! Please consider supporting our fabulous school! THANK YOU!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. Stay safe, stay healthy! Let's show our spirit during Red Ribbon Week!
Virtual Hugs,
Ms. Voltz
