Sharing Time


Our students love our daily sharing time. This is a time for students to bring in materials, books, videos, cd's, etc. that they have located at home that relate to our current topic. This activity makes learning personal and relevant to each of them, and adds a new and greater dimension to our daily learning experiences. This week Chloe brought in her pet turtle to share with the class. She did an awesome job sharing the information she had researched with her mom about turtles, and her own personal experiences with caring for her pet turtle. The students were excited to ask questions, and to hold her turtle as well. Thanks Chloe and mom for your part in helping to make our classroom a great place to learn!

TheWind





Our current Open Court topic for reading is the wind. We have read a variety of stories about the wind, and we learned some important facts. Ask your child to share with you some of the things they have learned about the wind at home. We made wind socks in class, and experimented to see what happens when the wind blows by pretending the air from the air conditioner unit was the wind blowing outside. The students enjoyed this art project and experiment as you can tell from our pictures.
