Classroom Notes

Here we are with another short week! Between the day off and late start, I barely get to see the kids :(  We have another session of garden rotation this week.  Students are working with Ms. Kathleen to get the school excited about parsnips!  They are learning about seasonal growth cycles and local produce.  While half of the class works with Ms. Kathleen, the other half stays in the classroom, and then they rotate.  Students working in the classroom are creating Book Trailers for all of our recently purchased library books.  I can’t wait to see how they turn out!
In S.S. we continue researching influential people and events to add to our Black History Timeline.  We are also finally spending time everyday enjoying our new read aloud novel.  We are reading “Middleworld” from the Jaguar Stones series and the kids are loving it!  The story takes place in Central America, exploring the ancient Mayan culture.  And it just so happens that this week we have a team from Google coming to our classroom to lead the students in a virtual exploration of Chichén Itzá.  I can’t wait to see how it goes!  Check out our blog and twitter account for photos.
