Student-led Conferences on Wednesday, December 5th from 3:00-4:30, in 30 minute blocks
If you are unable to come on Wednesday please let me know and we can arrange an alternate day/time. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet with your child! The children lead the conference and share goals and work from our completed planners.
Language Arts: this week we will focus on common nouns (teacher, park, ball, snake). We will read A Big Fish for Max. The genre is Animal Fantasy. The spelling pattern this week is digraphs sh/th and the vowel sound in ball.
Math: we will work on numbers from 11-20 and the hundred chart.
Science: magnetism, soil, and rocks will be our focus over the next weeks.
LDC: we will have a one week rotation this time around
Getting started on the class creation for the Bash!
Planner title: Where We Are in Time and Place
The central idea of our current planner is that a universal pictorial language connects people around the world. The lines of inquiry are: 1) communicating with symbols, pictures, and gestures; 2) geography and place; and 3) symbols and patterns and problem solving in math.The children created the US flag, a national symbol, and wrote about what each part of the flag represents.
We went on a 'Signs Hunt' around the school
Some signs were not inside so we went on a 'mini-field trip'
