The exciting news is that our classroom is now full of yoga balls as chairs! Thank you for your generous donations! At times the classroom looks like it is full of magic jumping beans, but I believe they do help the students to concentrate, and I know they enjoy not having to be as still for as long. Coach Christian is also curious to see how much sitting on these chairs will help strengthen their core muscles.
Reading: Tomorrow, the students will be going to the library to choose a biography about their hero. They have chosen some wonderful heroes! Much of their class reading time over the next two weeks will be reading and researching about their heroes.
Read Aloud: We have met two new characters in a whole new setting. The second part of the story is about two brothers growing up in America during the Great Depression who were in an orphanage.
Language: We will be reading and writing about the moon and space exploration this week!
Math: The students are continuing to work on equivalent fractions this week as we begin to compare and order fractions, focusing especially on comparing the fractions to half.
Science: The students will be learning about space exploration this week and exploring more about how that has affected our daily lives.
Alabama History: We will be wrapping up our discussion of the Trail of Tears this week as the students are completing their persuasive letters to Andrew Jackson at home.
