Weekly Update
Updates:
Mrs. Forberg, a formal Raven Stream teacher, brought her dog, Pepper, in to visit us on Tuesday. Pepper is a certified therapy dog. The class got to meet Pepper (and Mrs. Forberg) and learn about therapy dogs. Pepper will be visiting every other Tuesday morning. The kids will have a chance to talk, read, and pet Pepper. This was such a wonderful experience for my class last year. I'm so excited Mrs. Forberg and Pepper are joining us again this year.
We will take our Unit 4 assessment in Functional Morphology next week. This will cover all of the chameleon prefixes we have learned so far.
We are working hard on controlling our bodies (hands and feet to ourselves), using kind words, and not making noises and being disruptive. This will help us stay focused and learn.
Weekly Accomplishments:
Math: We learned about angles - acute, right, and obtuse. We are also learning about scalene, isosceles, and equilateral triangles in Calendar Math.
Reading: We took the Reading Comprehension Assessment #1 in Arts & Letters. These will be shared with you at conferences. We also wrote proof paragraph #2 for our Module Task #1. We started Module Task #2 which has us writing an introductory paragraph and a concluding paragraph. We wrote the introductory paragraph on Friday.
Science / Social Studies/Health: We continue to learn about the water cycle.
