Class Updates:
The students had fun exploring cultural displays created by students in the building. They were able to learn about countries from all over the world!
We have been learning about customary measurement for length in math. Students have been busy estimating and measuring a variety of objects with rulers, yard sticks, and measuring tapes. We will continue to explore measurement this week, focusing on lessons 5 - 9 in Chapter 11. It is important that your child knows the basic measurement conversions below:
- 12 inches = 1 foot
- 36 inches = 1 yard
- 3 feet = 1 yard
Staff from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis came to teach a lesson to the class on the importance of saving money. The children learned how to make a line graph to track spending and received pencils made from recycled paper money!
We are wrapping up our series book unit in reading. Next week, we will begin book clubs. This is a fun way to end the school year where students will get to choose a chapter book to read closely and discuss together.
In writing, the students have been working hard on using precise language, repetition, and comparisons in their poems. They also learned about similes and wrote simile poems that described themselves.
Junior Achievement lessons have started. Thank you to Mrs. McRae for volunteering to teach the students about communities. The children will do hands-on activities to find out more about how a business manufactures goods to sell.
We have started a unit in science on plants. To kick off the unit, we did a Mystery Science lesson that explored the question, "How can a tree travel halfway around the world"? The children learned about seeds and seed dispersal by wind, water, and animals. Each child made their own model of a seed with a structure that helps it fly. We tested the models both indoors and outdoors to see which models traveled the farthest and avoided landing shade.
