We sure did pack in a lot of work and fun in such a short week! We wrapped up our bat week with a really cool STEAM Bat project...see pictures below! Each student designed and created their very own bat. Given the supplies that were needed, each student had to create a bat that hung upside down on the sticks we gathered on our walking field trip last week. Afterwards the students wrote about the challenges they each faced while creating their bat, and of course their favorite part and what they learned. They will be handing in their bat folders with all of their bat work from this week on Monday morning. I will then grade it and send it home after Thanksgiving.
Next week we will be learning about OWLS! Hoo Hoo! Some really cool surprises headed their way!
This week in Wonders we reviewed diagraphs and next week we are moving on to trigraphs and possessive nouns.
We have been working really hard in reading and learning how to look for text evidence. We have been responding to reading by writing about what we have read about and gathering text evidence. We then discuss our findings and talk about how to navigate our way through the text using vocabulary clues, headings, bolt print, etc.
Please remember to have your child wear a winter coat, hat and gloves every day. They go outside for recess 2 times a day for 20 minutes...even if it is drizzling or snowing.
Next week:
Wednesday - I am out for a professional development course.
Thursday - Community Meeting
Friday - Eyes on Owls
Week After Next:
Wednesday before Thanksgiving - WEAR BLUE! We are having a school wide assembly and Second grade is wearing blue! This is ALSO an early release day and we will be eating lunch on the classroom. If students buy hot lunch then they will just bring it back to the classroom.
No school on Thursday OR Friday.
*Please check out "Important Pages" tab for some important info coming up!
Mrs. Brissette is our classroom contact for the Theme Baskets. A notice just went home about this today. It is in your child's binder.
Have a Wonderful Weekend,
Mrs. LeBourveau
