KES Classroom Families!

9/12/2016

 
Each class at KES becomes a family with another classroom in the school. Our goal is that students will develop positive school friendships with many children throughout the school community. This year my class will have a partnership with Mr. Cusson's third grade class. We will get together many times throughout the year for many different activities. The children love getting know their new friends and family in different classes. For our first gathering this year the two classes met and participated in a few icebreaker activities.They first introduced themselves with a throw the ball game  and then found their buddy by solving a math fact. I have included a few pictures of our first family get together.

We made it to the 100th day of school! 
To celebrate the 100th day of school, our class  made towers out of toothpicks and marshmallows. The children worked together in small groups to make a 3 dimensional figure. They used 100 toothpicks and 100 marshmallows. They displayed great teamwork and problem solving skills. They had a blast !

What are we learning in Room 21?

11/11/2015

 
In reader's workshop we are now learning all about non-fiction and the amazing information we can learn about the world around us!
Make sure to ask your child what new information they learned from their non-fiction reading each day.

In math we are finishing up Unit 2  (adding and subtracting within 10) and will be starting unit 3 (counting and place value). Unit two assessment scores will be sent home with the children. 

In Writer's Workshop, the children have been working hard creating how to books. We have learned all about how to make lemonade, how to ride a bike, how to make pickles, how to make water balloons and so many other fun topics. Your children are experts on many fun things. Soon we will be writing non-fiction chapter books.

Students are currently learning about Colonial times. As a culmination to our unit we will be having Colonial Day here at school on November 24th. You will receive more information about this fun experience and how you can volunteer.

11/11/2015

 
Your children have been working hard during reader's workshop to build good reading habits and have been using a variety of strategies to tackle tricky words. Please continue to encourage your child to use these strategies at home in their reading. Our goal is that these strategies they are using will become habits in their everyday reading.
