Stuff in Motion – Finishing up our Medieval Village:
This week we will put the final touches on our Medieval Village, testing water wheels, choosing a final water wheel design and photographing our creation
Math
Math Games and Review:
We spend the week playing mostly old math games, with occasional new ones. We will focus on reviewing double and triple digit addition, multiplication with 2’s, 3’s, 4’s and 5’s as well as measurement.
Reading
Making Predictions:
Good readers turn on their brains while they are reading, connecting their prior knowledge with the text and then making predictions.
Writing
Last week in Writer’s Workshop, we worked used all our senses to create detailed, descriptive stories. This week, we’ll incorporate details into stories about San Francisco.

On Friday the children will leave school at 3:30pm (there is no Bookends). They should return to school PROMPTLY at 6pm dressed in their costumes and ready to perform.
Sharing (Tuesdays): Each week one child will share a Passion Project. Passion Projects are MADE BY Magical Minds and are about something they care about, something that is important to them. This week Alexis will share at our class meeting
