You're Invited!
Our class will be memorizing and performing holiday poetry for you on Wednesday, December the 14th from 9-10 then our class party will follow from 10-11:30 This will be a very informal time just to be together and celebrate the season! If you cannot attend the poetry presentation, please make sure someone comes to watch your child. It can be a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or a neighbor. Let me know if you cannot find anyone to attend and I should be able to help. The children will be acting out winter poetry and will need to dress up/bring props to “show” their poem. Poems need to be memorized by December 9th. Parents are invited to stay for our holiday party but if you can’t, we understand.
This week in Math we will begin learning more about geometry. This week will be filled with polygons, angles, and seeing geometry in the world all around us! We will specifically be looking at triangles when learning about acute, obtuse, and right angles. In Science we are researching alternative forms of energy compared to fossil fuels. Each student signed up for an "expert group" and will be researching forms of alternative energy related to water, the sun, or wind. Later in the week we will get to make waterwheels similar to what we saw at DeSoto Caverns recently! Reading this week is all about poetry. We will be looking at several different styles of poetry and practicing it on our own. While we are focusing on poetry, we will also be learning more about adverbs.
I have had an incredible experience getting to teach your children the past 5 weeks both part-time and full time during my last week! I couldn't have asked for a better class of students during this experience. South Shades Crest will always hold a special place in my heart because of your children!
