Monday

Today we had the first of our long practices to prepare for our Dinosaur program, which is scheduled from next Tuesday night. We had the opportunity to visit the library today, as well.

We're cruising through our biography study! Students started their second biography reading group. We are reading about Harriet Tubman, Louis Braille, Rosa Parks, Jesse Owens and Eleanor Roosevelt. The students are continuing to work on choosing important facts.

We worked on making turns and angles during math and had the chance to visit the computer lab to move the turtle through the maze. Be sure to practice "left" and "right" with your child.

We also finished up some work with a story called Are We There Yet?. We mapped out their journey on our big map of Australia and had the chance to capture some of the things we're wondering about Australia. I'm looking forward to sharing Australia with our class.
