We are watching caterpillars grow and writing about what we see. Next week we will focus on butterflies. Nature is such an awesome teacher. Not as exciting as duck eggs, but still pretty cool. They are Painted Lady caterpillars. We learned this week that their waste is called fras. They have grown so much in only 7 days. |
We started a writing unit on poetry. I brought many special things for the children to look at with their "poet eyes". They went from table to table looking at items in a new way not as a scientist, but as a poet. I love this unit. The children are so creative and enjoy using language in a new way. Encourage your child to write a poem and use their poet eyes, music, and line break. |
We have been using Raz-Kids at school. It is a wonderful resource for books on your child's level. Just login using dwertz0 and then your child's lunch number. This would be a wonderful tool for you this summer. Also, we will be doing our last MAP testing session in 2 weeks. Please go to Compass Learning and practice some so that your child will be able to show all they have learned this year. Thank you so much for helping me at home.
