2nd Grade Interviews

On Friday, some students interviewed 2nd graders to meet their writing exhibition goal. They did a great job of asking their questions and working together to record their answers. I look forward to seeing this goal represented in their exhibition presentation.

Learning With Hands On Activities

In science we are learning about our Earth. This past week we planted seeds in sand, soil, and pebbles. We are waiting to see which one will grow a plant first.

In math we are learning about fractions. We used graham crackers to show different fractions.

Thirds

Fourths

Half

Also- I just wanted to share some good news I received! Over spring break, as part of my continued education, I took the Michigan Early Childhood Certification Test. I just found out yesterday I passed!

Our Trip to Wayne State's Planetatrium

We had tons of fun today! After our walk, we first went inside the planetarium an learned about the stars and planets.

After the planetarium, we were able to see and participate in some cool physics experiments.

Our Moms got in the fun too! Thanks for joining us today!

Walking Field Trip Tomorrow

Tomorrow, Friday, May 13th we will be walking to Wayne State's Planetarium. Students need to wear uniform. Students should wear gym shoes to keep their feet comfortable during our walk. Shoes do not need to be uniform. Also- we will be eating lunch at school when we return so you can send your child with their regular lunch routine. We are leaving right away in the morning so please be on time. Let me know if you have any questions!

Milestone #3 Typo

On the Milestone #3 form I sent home last week it stated the milestone was due on the Thursday the 18th. The 18th is actually a Wednesday and is NOT the correct milestone date.

Milestone #3 is due this Thursday May 12th. This is the correct date and was stated on the learning team plan forms I send home after our last exhibition week.

Because of the time issues the typo may have caused I will not send home any homework Tuesday or Wednesday night this week. Hopefully the extra time will help students prepare for their goals.

I apologize for any confusion! Please let me know if there is anything you need to help complete this milestone.

Shaving Cream and Shining Light

Jaden and Sawyer were both Shining Light this week! (The kids are making it hard for me to only choose one!) Jaden is getting along very well with his classmates and Sawyer was a very helpful leader the day we had some kindergartners with us. Great job to both of you!!!

On Thursday we wrote our buddy study words in shaving cream on our desks. The kids had lots of fun!

Planetarium Field Trip

Next Friday, May 13, we will be walking to the Wayne State University Planetarium! In addition to the actual planetarium, we will be doing a hands-on physics experiment! We are asking for each student to bring in $1.00 for the trip by next Wednesday, May 11.

Ann Arbor Hands On Museum Field Trip Movie

We had SO much fun at the Ann Arbor Hands On Museum today! The kids were able to try different experiments and explore. We made slime and learned about matter too! Check out this iMovie with the pictures I took today.

Sorry for the resolution- I'm still working out the digital kinks! :)
