Student Bloggers Share Their Week

I'm so excited to turn over some of the blogging duties to our student bloggers.  They worked as a team today to summarize what they felt to be the highlights of the week.  Here is what they had to say:

ART:  In room 205 we went to art. I thought we drew dragons. I thought it was scary. I learned that dragons have short teeth and they can eat people.

SCIENCE:  We did our first experiment! Our first experiment was called drops on a penny. One group got way more than every other group. We learned that is called an outlier.

READING: We have been practicing "Read to Self".  We are practicing the bad way and good way.  So far on reading we read 14 minutes.  We could not get into college or have a job without reading.

MATH: We are learning how to make ten.  For practice, we played "Circle the Number".  In that game we circle the number of bugs the teacher says.  The teacher calls the numbers really fast.  We also did Mountain Math.  We told time and multiplication.  I think the hardest for the class was 3x3. 

Written by, Max G., Tori H., Isabella H., and Josh A.

We fit a lot into the week!  Max, Tori, Isabella, and Josh didn't even have a chance to tell you all of the fun things we did.  However, your own child should have a "Weekly News" in their take home folder.  This is your chance to find out what your child thought was the best part of the week.  Then you or your child can comment below.  Also, here is the August 22 Newsletter

Okay, I think I'm ready to wrap the week up and get started celebrating the weekend with my own kiddos.  But before I end this post I wanted to share some fun pics from the week. 


 Some super creating for our "Super Power" writing!







We all had to work with our teams to save a poor worm named Fred!







 What was your child's favorite activity of the week?
