Dear Families, What a busy first week back! We had a great visit to Safeway, Washington Federal Bank and Fire Station 74. The children loved seeing all the businesses. This week we worked on writing opinion papers, so, of course, we came back from our field trip and the children wrote an opinion story on which place was the best to visit and why. We also worked on retelling a fiction story. While the children can retell a story, sometime they give too many details, so that is what we were working on this week. We will continue our opinion writing and work on using text to help write book reviews. In social studies we talked about two topics this week. We looked at needs vs. wants and goods/services. We will continue to talk about community next week as we explore our homemade community in the classroom. In science, we continued with our animal research projects. Each group made a storyboard and some started working on their iMovies. Some of the childr

Dear Families, The Cheetah class had a great week of learning, building relationships and refining our study habits. We finished most, but not all, of our assessments. We do have a few more to go, but the end is in sight. We introduced word work as the last part of the Daily 5. We will start library next week. We will go to the library on Wednesday afternoons at 2 pm. Our schedule changed due to some unforeseen scheduling conflicts, please review it on the class website. The children have been very into the nutrition portion of our health unit, so we will extend it into next week. They keep adding things that they would like to do and discuss, including making a group book of our favorite healthy foods. We are using this book to go through the writing process that we have talked about in Daily 5. Picture day is Wednesday, September 7 th . Our time will be after our specials that morning, but before we go out for recess. Please be on the lookout fo

Dear Families, It has been another fun week of getting to know your children. They are starting to catch on to our routines. Thursday we played multiple math games at the same time. It was great to watch how well they are working together. One of our favorite books that we read this week is Animalia. The kids have found all the different items on each page interesting to think about and talk about. We have been reading a couple pages each day while we eat snack. We also finished our first chapter book called “The Littles”. We may have to read more about their adventures as the children want to know what happens next. In science/social studies we talked about how to keep our emotions healthy through communication and conflict resolution. We will continue to talk about this throughout the year. This week we focused on clear communication and treating others the way you want to be treated. Next week we will move on to how we keep our bodies healthy through
