Sorry for disappearing for awhile...things have been pretty busy
in class that I forget to take my camera out to capture learning moments. Get ready for a long post because here
is what’s been happening!
We survived Field Day!!! Boy was it a chaotic day. Since it was
pouring rain that day, we had to have it indoors. The kids were pretty
exhausted by the time it was over but I think I might have been more exhausted
than they were. I took a good ol’ long nap when I got home. The kids had great
teamwork and great sportsmanship.
The kids have written multiple “How-To” assignments in Mrs.
Skalaban’s class. On this particular day, they wrote a paper on “how to ride a
bike.”
We’ve been practicing sight words every two weeks and then
taking a sound check over them. Looking through their VLA journals, it makes me
so happy to see the sentences the kids are producing in Vietnamese.
Our fifth graders dissected a squid last week and so Mrs.
Fleming left a squid out for classes to come observe. We took the opportunity
to go out there and looked at the squid. Let’s just say, the smell wasn’t
pleasant…but it was interesting to see a real live squid and their body parts.
We have been learning a lot of animals, their young, and
different life cycles. Here is our cute frog and fun facts.
We took our last trip to the Austin Nature Center last month and
the kids had a blast. They got to see live animals and even got to touch some
of the animals.
