UNIT 2 IS DONE!! Woot woot~~

This week we focused on our summative assessment which was combing all that we learned into a lap book project! They painted day and night skies, built houses/trees/cars from paper shapes, sorting day/night active animals, AND sorting out activities by putting them in order on day and night!! It was a LOT of work but the kiddos tackled it head on and the finished product is great! I will send home the lap book next week after I make copies of it and get all the grades I need from it! NEXT WEEK we start Unit 3: Where we are in place and time. This unit focuses on past/present/future and we look at those ideas through the lens of Holidays and how we celebrate! We will look at Thanksgiving as well as end of the year holidays: Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa, and New Year celebrations! I am hoping to learn about which/how your family celebrates these holiday’s through the kiddos sharing their ideas! This Unit is a LOT of fun and I can’t wait to jump into it with the kiddos!

  • Grades!! I will be putting in the last of the Unit 2 grades hopefully this weekend. You will see 3 grades in total for those standards we worked on Unit 2. Then starting next week there will be new standards for Unit 3. Don’t hesitate to ask me about how this works!
  • Pictures!! They are coming home today in the orange folders! If you didn’t order pictures you will still be receiving a proof and a link to how you can order them!
  • Martinstag SAT NOV 9th!! It’s so close!!! We have been decorating our lanterns for the event!! They look so cute!! The kiddos will be bringing them home the Friday the 8. Nov so that they may have them for Martinstag! Please send in your rain boots and jackets 4. Nov (Monday) so that we can start practicing our performance in them!! They are singing the song all the way through now so we’re ready to add the performance aspects!!
  • Mobymox!! Since we are at the end of the unit, this is a great time to check clever/mobymax for the last remaining math assignments from me. We are moving on from shapes and will be learning about 10s and a basic intro into place value so if you have time this weekend go ahead and finish up those last few assignments!
  • Book Character Day!! Thursday the 31st please send your kiddos dressed up as a book character (yes comic book characters count!). Please avoid masks, weapons, etc (if your kiddos ninja costume comes with a plastic sword, please leave it out that kind of thing). Extra points if they bring in the book to match the character!! We will be doing a parade in the morning (i’ll get the time to you asap) and parents are invited to come and see us walk through the parking lot in our costumes! Please, please no candy, cupcakes, edible items as presents for the class.

OK I can’t think of anything else right now. I wish y’all a great weekend!! The countdown to Halloween is ON!
