Highlights From Our Week

We wrapped up several units of study this week including our "Small Moment" writing unit, our first reading unit on building good habits of reading and word solving, and the insect unit. We published our stories with editing and revising, and shared them with each other today. We also celebrated our insect research with a fun costume making activity and parade around the school! The children had a wonderful time creating their insects with all of the specific body parts that insects have.  

The children dove into new learning around an intergrated science and literacy unit about tulips. We will be planting tulip bulbs next week and monitoring their progress through the winter and spring. The classes will participate in the Journey North test garden project, and use the text, Boxes for Katje, by Candace Fleming to support our thinking around change over time. It has been a busy week!
