Getting ready for the STEM lab...
Our class starts our first STEM session the week after next. We started to talk about what plants need to grow and looked at bulbs and beans. We are going to be forcing bulbs indoors and observing what they do and if they have the right conditions to grow!

Math Menu
Last week, our class launched our first Math Menu. The students had a choice in a number of place value games and activities while classroom teachers and specialists supported their learning. Small groups were also pulled aside for individualized instruction. The class really enjoyed themselves and did a great job managing their time and staying focused! Ask your child what their favorite math menu activity was so far. 🎲😀
GEMS Celebration 🎉
Last week, the students filled up their GEM box and choose to have an extra recess celebration! The class worked hard the first few weeks of school on being respectful, responsible and safe! It was the perfect weather and they truly earned it and enjoyed themselves. ☀️
They are already working hard to fill our box again! Ask your child what it means to them to be respectful, responsible and safe at our school.
Picture Day Class Photo 😎
We took a quick class photo before heading to the library for picture day. Everyone was dressed their best!

Check it out circle
On Tuesday morning, our class participated in a "check it out circle." Each student selected a book from our library that looked interesting, and silently explored it for one minute. They then passed the books in a clockwise direction until their original book returned to them. The students were surprised by the variety of choices that they enjoyed and learned that it is important to read many different types of text.
