Mar 15 Update

 Hello!

I'm sending this update a day early to let you know that tomorrow (Friday) is movie/cuddle day for filling the gem jar this afternoon! We will watch a 30 min show, and students can bring a favorite stuffed animal and/or blanket to cuddle with during the movie. Whatever they bring must fit in their backpack : ) 

I hope you all have a restful and relaxing week off this upcoming week. We finished this quarter super strong this week with some amazing imaginative narratives, lots of geometry, map making and some cool science experiments. Pictures below!

Thanks and have a great spring break,

Wendy

Here is our final map! LOTS of places to visit on this map : ) 

After completing the map, students picked a place to start, gave a few directions...and then you lift the flap to see if you ended up in the right place!









Mrs. Doucher came in on Tues and Wed for some science focusing on push and pull





And now for some air "push" of the racing balloons! Fun!







3D shape making with polydrons!

 Hello! And just like that, it what feels like a blink of an eye, the year has come to an end!! Thank you from the very bottom of my heart for sharing your WONDERFUL kids with me this year. It has been my great pleasure getting to know them, encourage them and teach them! And they teach me things every day too!!! All the best to you for a safe and fun summer! Thanks again, Wendy And finally - our last set of pictures! We had SO MUCH FUN with the chicks this week!! As seen above and below, on Monday, we enjoyed an art student interested in art education visiting! She came and drew chicks with us and then also drew some special characters by request! : ) Most seemed to be Pokemon! On Friday, we enjoyed a "field day" morning of play! There were 5 stations with some fun games and popsicles! I didn't get many pictures of them as I was leading one of the stations, so please ask them what all 5 activities were! This one above is paddle ball/velcro ball. Popsicle station! We had ...

Hello! Welcome back and off we go into our 2nd Semester together! Hope you had a happy and restful break! Didn't get many pictures in our very short week - just a 3D "Shape Hunt" today around the school (pictures below). Shapes are everywhere in our world! Yesterday, we talked about 2D Shapes (square, triangle, rectangle, circle), and then we introduced 3D Shapes today. We paid special attention today on the Sphere and the Cylinder. See if you can find some shapes as you are out and about! We will begin some winter testing this upcoming week. Our MAP Math test will be on Thurs, 1/11 and our MAP Reading test will be on Fri, 1/12. I will of course remind your child this is just 1 way we know "what you know" and "what you still need to know" so that I can team them better! On your end, the only suggestion is that they get a good night's sleep and a good breakfast on those days : )  If you have any questions as we head into January, please feel free to...

Hello! Winter break is nearing! Today, I am sending home 2 math games that your students know how to play as well as a "winter break reading challenge" in case they would like to play those games with you and/or read with you over break since it is quickly approaching! As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Wendy Our future is bright! New shades from the Columbus Blue Jackets for doing our reading program! A big thank you to Mrs. Grimm, our weekly volunteer, who shared with us a book about Hanukkah as well as how she celebrates Hanukkah with her family. She also taught us how to play the Dreidel game, and everyone came home with the game piece today to play at home if interested! You just need coins, legos or some small item to use. We each started with 10 "gems" for our game here in the classroom. They should remember the rest, but please reach out if they forget! Playing the Dreidel game. Our Gingerbread Man got loose in school!!!! As...
