Weekly update

Hello Parents and students!

We have had a very busy week; the students have been doing a lot of story construction. We have been using our imaginations and putting our heads together to come up with story ideas. We have been reading many stories throughout the week and identifying the beginning, middle and end. The students have been learning about the elements that make a beginning, middle and end to a story. This week we will be focusing on the beginning of a story to start the planning process. We discussed the importance of planning a story, how organizing our ideas will help us write in a more successful manner.

Some of the students have expressed interest in writing more at home and I think it’s a great idea! So if your child is interested in perhaps keeping their own journal at home here are some helpful websites that have some great ideas:

In science we are starting a unit where we are exploring liquids. If anyone can spare empty plastic containers, bottles, etc , that would a great help to me and the students! We will be doing a lot of demonstrations and experiments with different liquids so through our inquiries students will become scientists and will be reporting their findings.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, a new week is upon us!
