Writing - Setting expectations for writing with a partner, Lower-case cursive review, Types of writing we could work on during workshop time.
Math - Multiplication as repeated addition, Multiplication in real world applications, Turn-around facts, and Factors.
Science - Considering our use and comfort level with nature, Interviewing others about nature/outdoors, Observation and description of items in nature, and Creating a field guide for the plants on our school grounds.
Welcoming New Classmates
We have two new friends, Surya and Josier. To ensure privacy I never attach photos with names to this public blog. However, you will get a chance to see them at Opening Picnic in just a few weeks. We are very excited to have each of them join our class.
Class Camping Trip
You may have heard that we are planning a class camping trip for this fall. It will be Saturday, November 3rd at the group/scout camping area in Sesquicentennial State Park. Many more details will be shared in the coming months. For now, just mark the date on your calendars.
Thanks,
Chris
