We've had a short, but great first week back from break. We've been getting back into the rhythm of school and starting some great new things.
A few highlights of the week include:
- Starting informational writing projects (topics vary from underwater disasters to puppies to babies to Star Wars).
- Starting an informational reading unit and finding books that teach us new things and make us say "Wow!"
- Observing the phases of the moon and making predictions for what the moon will look like next. Please note- we're not trying to explain how the sun/moon/planets interact, we're trying to have the children observe, notice, question, hypothesize, etc. They're coming up with great theories and working really hard!
- Beginning a math unit on geometry.
- Celebrating Read Across America Day.
- Practicing flexibility with our wacky schedule, lack of snow and chilly temperatures!
It's been a wonderful week! Have a great weekend,
Nancy
