We have some important dates coming up so I want to mention them right away!
Our next spirit day is this Friday and the theme is Super Heroes. We will also be celebrating our super volunteers that morning! Glencoe has a new t-shirt design created by our very own parent, Satchel's mom Katie! Order forms were sent home last week and are due Wednesday the 22nd. The annual Glencoe Storybook parade is coming up Friday, May 31st. Students are invited to dress as one of their favorite book characters. It is fun if they bring the book too so we all can see their inspiration. In writing we have finished our opinion unit and celebrated by reading our final pieces with our 3rd grade buddies. They also just finished a unit where they created their own version of a fairytale. The 3rd graders read their stories to their buddies. It was a fun way for both classes to celebrate their hard work. The first graders have also recorded themselves reading their review in their digital portfolio on Seesaw. They were inspired a bit by the book reviews at the end of Reading Rainbow episodes. They did a great job reading with expression. Check them out! We have also started our final science unit and it is one of my favorites. Students are exploring how nature inspires scientist and engineers. Last week they examined two different kinds of beaks - a starling and a duck. They explored how the different styles of beaks are best for certain foods which then led to comparisons to tweezers (starling) and spoons or scoops (duck).
