“Yesterday we played with Legos in Creative Play. We were taking a video with a video camera of our chrysalises because we wanted to see if any of them hatched. And some of them hatched and now we have four Painted Lady butterflies.”

Every day we spend time engaged at classroom centers. A popular new center has been Monopoly.  Monopoly involves students buying property and exchanging money. It has been a powerful way for students to practice their math skills. They are especially becoming more skilled at making change and adding sums of money.

Yesterday we had music with Ms. Shelley. We sang a Spanish song about body parts and we also got to make music with the shakers.

For the past four weeks in Writers’ Workshop we have been focusing on writing scientific research reports and memory book piecs. This week students were very excited to return to a focus on writing personal stories. Ask your child what he/she is writing about this week.

We have been enjoying the beautiful sunshine in our outdoor classroom.
