Hello Families!
Please accept my apologies for not updating the blog this week--almost everyday I had to rush out after school to attend a meeting or training.
As your students may have told you, it has been a whirlwind of a week! We started ELA flexing, Math flexing, as well as science rotations. The students are doing a lot of moving! The students are getting to know their new teachers and class expectations.
In writing, we have been focusing on sensory details, and using words that make our writing more interesting. We brainstormed using Circle Maps, and then classified our information using Tree Maps. Teams worked collaboratively to create a Tree Map for Sensory Details.
Today, we started our Art Fundraiser for science camp. The theme of our art is flowers (in the style of Georgia O'keeffe. In the next couple of weeks be on the look out for order forms.
Please emphasize homework responsibility! With having 2-4 different teachers per day, it takes extra effort from the students to make sure all their homework is written down and put in their homework folders. For the first few weeks of flexing, I will take extra steps to remind them to pack all they need for homework.
I would also like to ask you to please emphasize to your child to put her/his homework back into the homework folder and backpack once completed. I've heard several students tell me, "I did my homework, but I left it at home."
Have a great weekend!
