It was so awesome getting a chance to spend time with all of you at PEC 2! Working together with you to ensure that your kiddos get an awesome education is one of the many things that I love about this job. I hope that those of you that came to the Core 2 Math found it helpful and that you had plenty of time to connect during the Core 2 meet up! We have been doing a lot of insect experiments this week to learn about the ants that we have on campus. Below you will find the simple graphic organizer for leading students through the scientific method while doing an experiment. Feel free to use this at home to conduct simple experiments: Students have also begun writing their insect storybook in writers workshop with Patrick. Creating the insect storybook will take until Exhibition (mid-November) at which point students will have a chance to show it off! Right now they are finishing up the planning stage and moving into writing the first few pages of the book.
In reading, we have begun to read non-fiction books about insects in our book clubs. These are self selected groups of kids that all have a shared interest in reading a particular book together. It is awesome watching students support each other and learn from each other! Both Tuesday and Wednesday will be homeschool days, as Student Led Conferences will be happening in the classroom. Have a great week! Comments are closed.
