This will be a catch-up post for the past 2 weeks. I have been
really busy and haven’t had time to update the website so here it goes!
In math, we have been working on 2D shapes and 3D shapes. We
worked on identifying shape names, their vertices, their sides, their edges and their
faces.
We celebrated 100 days of school the first week of February. We
did lots of fun activities in math and ELA. We are now on number 112. It’s
crazy to think there are just a couple months of school days left. This school
year really flew by quick.
The kids got to enjoy an African clawed frog for two weeks. This
little thing would swim in his tank and we would be able to hear his claws
scratch the tank. He went back Wednesday and we should be getting another
classroom pet soon.
Our 5th graders hosted a science fair for us last
week. They had some really impressive experiments. The kids really enjoyed
walking around looking at different science experiments and finding their 5th
grade science buddies. It’s been awhile since we had science buddies due to
busy schedules but we will reunite with science buddies soon I hope!
February is dental hygiene month so we have been learning about
our teeth all month! We had some special guests come teach the kids all about
their teeth. Every student got to bring home a little dental care package.
Look at our crazy chompers we have hanging by the back of the
room! This was a high interest lesson. They wrote about why it is important to
take care of our teeth and created this fun mouth.
Check out a VLA journal writing from one of my students who
joined the Vietnamese Dual Language Program this year.
