You will have noticed your child brought home some of their work from our first unit on narrative writing. I know they were very excited to share their stories with you! We will be starting our next unit on How-To writing this week. We will start with generating lists of topics where we can teach the steps for how to do something to others.
We started our newest reading and phonics units. We have been enlisted by the Super Secret Detective Agency to become Word Detectives. Our first two missions involved stopping when we see a problem (a word that is tricky) and use everything we know to solve it. We started our first technology project this week using See Saw. We read the story, Kindness is Cooler, Mrs. Ruler and then came up with two ways we could show kindness during the week. Students typed their ideas and some recorded themselves reading their writing. I will be sending home a letter that describes how you can connect with your child's journal. On Friday we had our first session for the current Art Infusion project. Students used clay to create a leaf shape using an actual leaf to make an imprint for the shape and details. We have our next session on Friday, November 8th when we will apply the glaze. I am so impressed with how well everyone did - I know these we be just gorgeous! I've posted a few photos of the artists at work. The end of the grading period is Thursday, October 31st. I will be at a science training that day and there is no school Friday, November 1st.
