It’s been quite a busy week. The kids have been working very
hard in class learning how to add ten and minus 10 to bigger numbers. Some are
thrilled when I give them a challenge with numbers over 500. In science, we’ve
been talking a little bit about rocks and erosion.
We haven’t been doing a lot of literacy during VLA because we’ve
been working on our coconut dance. We did review our sight words for the week and made flashcards for them though. We started practicing on the stage this
week. For the next 2 weeks, we will practice 5 more times before the actual
performance. We will be wearing our actually costumes on Tuesday to take
pictures. This week the kids tried on their costumes to make sure it fit. Here are pictures of our cool coconuts!
Yesterday, we had people from Generation Zero come to teach us
about recycling and landfills. These people are from a group called Keep Austin
Beautiful and they educate children about how to take care of the earth to make
it a better place to live in. The kids really enjoyed the presentation. We will
have this for the next 2 weeks on Friday. Not only did the kids learn a lot
from this, but I did too. After they learned in the classroom, they went
outside and did a little relay race sorting how things that belong in the trash
and things that belong in the recycle. Both teams did good but Team SUPERMAN
won.
I’ve updated the library labels in the classroom and added more
organizers for our books we make in class together. The anticipated 100 days of
school is coming up! Only 3 more days!
I hope the kiddos are ready for another busy week. This upcoming
week, we have Tet pictures, 100 days of school, library, class pictures,
another Generation Zero presentation, and some more testing for reading.
Next week, we will have the day performance, the night
performance, our Valentine’s party, and the science expo hosted by 5th
grade.
