Here's What's Going on in the Beacons' World:Friendship:
It seems to be that time of year... where Beacon friends are not being as friendly as they should. It's been many weeks since the holiday break and spring break is a long way off. We've taken some time this week to refresh our memories on being respectful and kind toward each other. Ask your students about some of the friendship activities we've done to reinforce this in our classroom. Sometimes all it takes is a friendly reminder of what to say to show you care in order to be a good friend.
Reading:
We're continuing reading assessments and reading myths together. They loved the story of Perseus and Medusa! I have ordered some new novel sets and we'll begin novel groups as soon as they arrive.
Writing:
We're been busy blending technology and typing skills to create final drafts of the creative stories. The Beacons have been working hard and are very proud of their final products.
Math:
Division skills continue as students continue to solve problems and connect division to multiplication.
Science:
The lunar space colony is almost completed! Next week we'll be doing some experiments that will walk us through the scientific process and reinforce the designs of the space colony. Students will then modify their designs based on the conclusions from their experiments.
Social Studies: We're off to learning about Greek currency and writing letters to each other in Greek! Pretty exciting stuff! We've been studying Greek and Italian geography, temples and tombs. The students are loving learning!
