February 24th, 2017

Hello families and friends,

We have been continuing to work on our Read to Self and Read to Someone skills this week.  The students also started creating their own creatures for a writing project that we will be starting.  They designed their creature, and then worked on adding some descriptive adjectives and information about it today.  Ask your child some different questions about their creature to help them come up with those details.  This will make their work with it next week easier.  We have also started working on "alien math".  We imagined that we went on a spaceship, and crashed on a moon near Jupiter.  There we encountered some weird aliens, and started investigating their numbers.  The students had a lot of good conversations while they were trying to figure it out.  Ask your child what they have learned.  We have also been working on finishing up our research into leopard geckos.

A reminder that next week we will be going swimming each afternoon.  Please help your child to remember their swimsuit and towel, and to bring an extra bag to put their wet things into afterwards so they don't get their backpack all wet.  Volunteers are free to just meet us at the swimming pool.

Have a great weekend,
Mr. Soulliere
