I had to remind the kiddos that although the year is coming to an end, it is not over yet. It is so hard for them to continue to give their all these last few weeks but we'll do our best to continue with our daily learning up to May 29.
We began with Math 4 Today and I loved some of this say, "Oh, this isn't bad, we've already learned it!" Finally! Then, we looked at nouns, adjectives and verbs through School House Rocks videos and completed a Mad Lib to practice using them. Next, I stated that we would be completing some research and writing a research report and I actually got some excitement and "Yay!" out of them. They are picking their topics, researching their topics based on the 3 questions they developed and then writing a 5 paragraph report. Piece of cake! :) At lunch and recess, I checked my mailbox and found a letter from a 4th grade class in New Jersey. They invited us to join them in the Great Mail Race! We are so excited and hope to get letters from as many states as possible in return to what we are sending out tomorrow. Your student has a state or two and is supposed to find an elementary school's address to bring to school tomorrow. You can go to nces.gov.cdd/schoolsearch to help you find schools. We are so lucky they picked us! After that excitement, we got into groups of 3-4 and created shapes on the floor using tape. Then, we found the area and perimeter of our shapes. Finally, we went down to first grade to work with our buddies on a special treat for our moms!
Oh! We also got a new student today! Ask your kiddo about Claire!
