Photo dump & quick update!

 Hi Families!

I wanted to share a few pictures from our recent learning with you! Amongst our learning we try our best to snap some pictures to keep you connected at home!  

You'll see some of our explorations into our geometry unit where we are working on identifying shape attributes and partitioning shapes! You'll see our accountability charts for transfering digraphs and vowel patterns into our writing. We had a visit from Mr. Flaim who talked all about the Olympics and inspired us to never give up on our dreams! Mrs. Larkin has been ramping up her calming corner with more goodies and the kiddos have especially been loving the kinetic sand! We've been coding and working with robots during our time with Mr. G. We will also be using a cool app called shadow puppet to display one of our recent writing projects on Seesaw. The students have been working so hard on handwriting each morning and it is definitely showing in their writing lately! In reading we have been exploring some series and being observant of characters! We've been working on identifying personality traits and physical traits of some of our favorite characters! There was a school wide door decorationg contest and the dragonflies got A LOT of compliments from other classes AND an award from student council! The students have been starting to display some of their learning on Seesaw so please check the family app to see what they've been up to recently! If you need help connecting to seesaw on the family app let me know and I can send home a new family QR code! We will be putting our performance task for our shape unit on Seesaw as well! 

Thank you to those who have signed up to be Mystery Readers, if you haven't signed up yet, there are still plenty of spots! We are working on a new project with Mr. G and we need as much Amazon card board as we can get! If you have any purchases from Amazon lately, could you please send in your cardboard for our next project? Mr. G is very specific on the type of cardboard he likes!

Information on student-led conferences will be sent home later this week! We can't wait to display our learning to you and have you in our classroom!
