Today we had our final installment of Art Literacy for the year and tomorrow is the first ever Jog-a-thon! Two big things in just two days. The students enjoyed art lit (at least so they say; I wasn't there).
Today kiddos tried to put facts in order of importance from a NF text. I'm finding that it's difficult for us to figure out what the MOST important piece of information is. It's also challenging to determine an author's theme from a fiction text.
We're working on cementing our spelling knowledge and have been focused on suffixes. Help your child out by practicing words where letters must change before -ed and -es endings are added (such as baby or cry).
Students did an excellent job collecting data from other classrooms today. I peeked in on those around and was impressed by what I saw. We also went to the computer lab to begin researching our Coral Reef fish. We found some good places to get fish information. Look for links on the right side if you want to help your child at home.
I'm looking forward to the jog-a-thon tomorrow. It really is a great way to support the school community and have a little exercise.
