Welcome Back!
I hope that everyone had a wonderful and relaxing Spring Break :)

Here's a look at what's happening in our ELL groups:

Kindergarten: Our focus this week is on characters and setting. We will begin by analyzing different characters that we know of not just in books, but in tv shows and movies as well. After creating a list, we will be reading stories and drawing and identifying key information to describe characters. We also will identify different settings and understanding that settings are places described in stories. We will be drawing pictures and writing sentences to go along with our illustrations about characters and settings.

First Grade: We are continuing our human body explorations by identifying key vocabulary associated with the main organs in our body. Last week, we discussed the heart and now we are venturing into the lungs. We will be analyzing and reading various poems and short books that will help us describe key vocabulary words related to the lungs.

Second grade: We are describing various landforms that exist in our world! The students will be matching definitions to pictures and describing their knowledge of different landforms through actions.

Fifth Grade: We will continue our unit on Digestion and focus on the main organs and processes involved. We are reading different books and creating different diagrams that are related to digestion.
