Busy Bees!

The class is working very hard at mastering their typing skills! We have been practicing using appropriate posture and remembering to keep our fingers on the home row keys at all times. Please remind your child of this when you see them typing at home!

We are wrapping up our unit on the water cycle. The students were reading through a text about the water cycle, fresh water on Earth, and the clouds. They read the articles with a partner and used sticky notes to mark things they found that were interesting, that they learned, and finally things they still had a question about.

Happy 100th Day of School!

Wow how the year has flown by! It is most definitely hard to believe we are at the 100th day of school!

As a little celebration today, the class took time throughout the day to think of 100 words that they know. I was so impressed with how quickly they came up with them and that many wanted to keep writing words they knew!

Our big activity today was a bucket list. Each of your children came up with 10 things they would like to do in their lives before they turn 100. It was so awesome to see the goals that your children have! They are going to do great things! Earlier in the week I had taken their pictures in the aging booth. This simulates how they could look with wrinkles. Boy did the kids get a kick out of that! I even took my picture as well to make them feel better! What cute looking 100 year old people we will be!

Ask your child about their bucket list! These will be hanging in the hallway!
