Week 12 + 13

Hello Geckos!!

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving break and mini vacation. It was awesome to see the kids in person last week, two weeks without them was A LOT.

They continue to do so well with the routines and expectations, they are flexible and work really hard while they are at school. I am so proud of them.

Here are some photos of kickball outside at recess- social interaction, being a good "sport" and team player, learning how to take turns, lose and be a kind winner, are all important skills to learn while at school, too!




In math we are continuing to focus on different strategies for solving problems. We have worked with tape diagram and place value chart. The kids have been doing a great job with this. In the work that is coming home, you will notice a lot of hundreds chart, counting forward and backwards practice. Solidifying their knowledge of these number patterns is what will help them continue to be successful as we work on harder math problems and eventually transition into multiplication.





In social studies we are wrapping up our Vermont project. Students wrote postcards containing beautiful pictures and facts or information that they learned during our unit of study. They designed their card and wrote two facts in letter form, using their notes as a guide. The postcards came out awesome!






Please be aware that our remote learning schedule has changed a little bit. Each child now has a reading group at 9, directly after morning meeting, AND a one on one zoom time with either me or Miss Edna. The new schedule went home with them in their bags on Friday. Thank you for your continued support and flexibility as we figure out the best ways to support all students through this wild time.

  1. I see Cameron kicking the ball, and all my friends having fun playing kickball. Kickball, I believe, is their favorite sport to play at school. We are all practicing being good sports, taking turns, and having patience with our friends. Most of the time this happens, but sometimes not...that's life and we continue to grow and learn.
    Love having recess with my friends and participating in their super fun game of kickball!
