Week of March 19th

Aren't the weeks just flying by? This week, we made a point of enjoying the sunshine a little bit by going outside during Choice Time for a couple of days. We had a great time running around and hope the warm weather is here to stay.

Our week started off great with Cory's discovery table on Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus. So interesting!

In math we are continuing to learn about geometry and had a lot of fun finding a lot of different ways to make cubes and pyramids out of polydron pieces. Thursday and Friday we colored in grids of 9 squares each with different colors and designs and brainstormed ways we could sort them. We realized that there are so many different ways we could sort them into groups, we couldn't even name them all!

In literacy, we have been discussing opinions and thinking about details that we like in our favorite books. The class has been writing lots of letters about their favorite books so you may see some addressed to you in the next couple of weeks!

I have been having such a great time subbing for Mrs. Nakhleh and it has been an excellent experience for me. I feel so lucky to have been placed with such a great class and am looking forward to my solo weeks.

Have a great weekend,
Ali
