We also had our first Math Studio of the school year on Tuesday. Everyone did a fabulous job during Math Studio. It was fun for all my friends to have their Kindergarten teachers in our classroom watching them do math. It was a great day of learning for everyone.
Within the next week we will be finishing up several units. We will be moving on to learning about digraphs in Fundations, understanding addition and subtraction in Math, and learning about liquids and solids in Science. We will continue to do activities focused on retellings in Readers' Workshop and will continue to talk about how authors stretch small moments and include details to make their writing interesting in Writers' Workshop.
Next week will be another busy week for the Firefly Team. Wednesday is our second field trip to Shelburne farms, which will help us kick off our science unit. We will be learning about liquids and solids through the cheese making process and will get to taste some different cheeses that are made at Shelburne Farms. Yummy! Please make sure your child brings a lunch from home that day because we will be eating lunch at the farm. It is also important that they are dressed appropriately for the farm. The weather is tricky this time of year, please make sure they have warm clothing if it is a cold day. On Friday, we will have our next Hands On Nature Lesson which will focus on leaves.
A big thank you to everyone for your support with the first week of homework. I was so impressed with all the creativity that went into this week's homework and was amazed by how many students chose to do more than what was required. We spent some time today sharing some homework pieces with the class.
Please take a moment to go on the Firefly webpage sometime in the next few weeks to sign up for a fall conference in November. The fall conference sign-up is on the left side of the webpage. Click on it and it will take you to a wikki where you can sign up.
