Engineering with the High School
On Thursday we had our last trip to the High School to learn about motion. On this trip students worked with their group to build a chain reaction our of dominoes! It was a wonderful chance for students to see how to change their reaction, turn it and to practice working together. What a wonderful community partnership and super fun experience for everyone! Here are a few photos of the kids domino creations!
Working on our Teens!
As we continue through the end of the year students will increasingly practice their teen numbers, and for some continuing into their 20s! This week students had to count out different numbers of objects and used different objects too. This was wonderful practice for students to really become fluent in saying their numbers out loud and to work on their accuracy. If you get a chance please have your students count out loud for you. It is great practice and by the end of the year they are supposed to be able to count to 100! Thank you for your support in this!
Sight Word Sticker Books
This week I launched our sight word sticker books, a way for students to track which sight words they know and don't know. With these sticker books students came up with a goal for the end of the year and each week I will be reassessing them and see how much they are practicing. I am providing students opportunities twice a day to practice these words but please keep practicing at home! If every student meets their goal students get an ice cream movie party! That is what they voted on so that's what they get if everyone meets their goal! This is really helping keep them engaged and improving over the next weeks!
Nine more days until our Ducks begin hatching, a few more weeks until our Music concert, one month until the science/curriculum fair and then 6 weeks until the end of school. Holy moly it is going fast but I am truly enjoying the ride :)
Smiles,
