We're winding down the days until Spring Break!
 
All students did a wonderful job with ISATs this past week and we are now getting back into our normal routine.
 
Kindergarten students: We will be working on classfiying characteristics of objects such as heavy and light. We will also be incorporating some math skills into this by graphing our objects to see if there are more or less heavy objects than light objects.
 
First grade: We completed our autobiopoems and are now moving into analyzing the parts of the human body. We will begin this unit by doing various cooperative activities to analyze the parts inside and outside of the body and then move into the major functions of different organs.
 
 
Second grade: We are working on distinguishing facts and fiction. We will be doing different cooperative activities distinguishing the differences between fact and fiction beginning with a game where we choose 2 facts about ourselves and one fiction piece of information to try to fool our friends!
 
Fifth grade: We are moving into studying the parts and functions of the digestive system. We will be doing different cooperative activities and reading text related to the digestive system.
