Weekly Update

Books read this week:
  • Bartholomew and the Oobleck-experiemented with our own oobleck and discussed solids and liquids
  • The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins- biography about the first person to make life size models of the dinosaurs. Discussed how ideas change over time.
  • Amazing Grace- diversity and acceptance
  • Among the Odds and Evens- review of odd and even numbers and patterns
  • Twizzler Shapes- geometry introduction to new shapes

We have also begun doing 45 second timed tests on the basic addition and subtraction facts to ensure fluency.

Please continue to send in items for the cafeteria baskets. The children are enjoying them very much. We especially are looking for Mad Libs, word searches, cards, card games, crayons, magna doodles, dry erase markers, finger puppets, books, etc.
