It was wonderful to meet with all parents and students during the 3Way Conferences. Letting the students participate by way of setting goals helps them to identify how to reach their goals, as part of their learning path. Many students at this age can be just unaware of their learning. Getting them to set goals helps them to be more intuitive about their learning.
This past week we were busy concluding our first unit of inquiry into Who We Are. The boys and girls worked on their Living Journals as well as their summative assessment, to show their overall understandings of the concepts they have learned. On Monday, they will finish this up, and by Tuesday we will begin our new UOI, How We Organize Ourselves. Our central idea is "an understanding of time impacts how we organize and manage our lives."
In literacy, we have been focusing on the steps of the writing process including pre-writing, writing, revising, editing and publishing. We continued our work in spelling.
In math we continue to work on place value. This week coming we will begin our math inquiry into telling the time.
Student Portraits: Just a reminder, the class picture and student individual pictures will be taken this coming Thursday at 10:50 AM.
