The PS 154 Readathon has ended and we have keeping a running total of the minutes we've been reading. Many children have exceeded one thousand minutes! Please take a moment this weekend to total up the minutes on your child's sheet. Every child should turn in the sheet and be recognized for their efforts, regardless of whether there was a sponsor or not.
Finally, many of you have viewed our Dance video on our playlist. Check out the latest videos of our shelter presentations. We have three shelters filmed and next week, we should have Bamboo Houses and Felt Gers featured!
Here's what to look forward to next week:
- We have started our unit on China and students have gathered many facts about the culture of this large country. We will continue to use our nonfiction reading skills to help us learn about the landforms and landmarks of this historic country.
- Children have spent a week brainstorming ideas for Information Books. This exciting writing project allows our children to share their expertise on a subject of their own choosing. We have been making hard choices about what we want to teach others about our topics and thinking about how to organize and explain the most important parts of these subjects. This project allows us to revisit elaboration strategies we began learning about in the Opinion Essay Writing unit before.
- On Thursday, we will have BAX dance class again.
- On Family Friday, please join us as the children will create a beautiful globe for our contribution to the PS 154 Art Auction. We are fortunate to have Penelope's Mom spearhead this awesome activity!
- We will also have the Chapter 7 math test on Friday. This unit will wrap up our work with division facts. Next up, Fractions! Please check out the following links to review division facts that will be useful for this test:
Have a wonderful weekend!
