This week in ELA we have been working on getting to know the daily five centers that we will do each day. Each center has reading or writing activities for the students to choose from. While they work in these centers, small reading groups are pulled to the teacher table to do reading lessons. This week I started pulling the students one on one to do a reading check. This will help me group the class so each student will be learning at the level that is best for them.
In science this week, we were able to do a fun STEM project where we had to build towers/houses only using index cards. We also go to brainstorm and work in groups to make a poster that answers the question, "What is Science?"

In math we started with some fun exercises. Then we jumped into the beginning of the year assessment, and now that we are about to finish that, we are ready to work in small groups, and we started talking about things that will happen in the “Mental Math” math rotation. We are also practicing with addition and subtraction worksheets.
In Social Studies we learned about what geography is, “What is a state?” “Where is Michigan located?”, we had the chance to explore other communities like they were introducing to us in Roxaboxen. Also we learned more about where Michigan is located among the US states. Your child will be able to tell you what is the difference between relative and absolute location after this week.
We had an amazing and fun-filled week, I’m so excited to get to know all of my students, they have so much to share every day.
