MEA testing was completed today and we are thrilled to be back on our regular schedule!
We participated in March Mammal Madness which was a nice distraction from testing! Only one student picked the ultimate winner- the Tundra Wolf! Another student won the most points out of the entire class. It was fun learning about interesting mammals and keeping track of their progress and our points.
In math, we continue to work on partial quotients and angle measurements. Partial quotients can be challenging, but the children are working hard!
In reading, we began a whole class read aloud/book club with the book Woods Runner by Gary Paulson. The story take place at the start of the Revolutionary War and will be an excellent centerpiece for our study of historical fiction. Children will continue to read their partner or individual books in school and at home.
Our science unit on Traits, Diversity, and Selection through SALMON is moving along. The children recently did a lab with Deb Landry on how the environment influences traits. The salmon are now in the alevin stage.
Our opinion writing unit has begun and the children have made lists of things they wish were different in their lives, community and world. It will be exciting to see which topics they ultimately choose.
Tuesday, March 12th is our trip to the Maine Maritime Museum. Children should bring a healthy snack and lunch and dress appropriately. It tends to be chillier along the river.
Thank you for your support, and please let me know if you have any questions.
Yours truly, Renee
