In Science this week, we will begin discussing animal life cycles. Students will be using iPads and nonfiction articles to research about the life cycle of different animals. We will also discuss that not all animals have the same "stages". There is a fabulous website that covers all types of animals and shows how their life cycles are different: http://www.kidzone.ws/animals/lifecycle.htm I encourage you to let your child explore this website at home. We will continue to observe our tadpole, lima beans, and chicken eggs to help them make connections and have experiences to go alongside their new knowledge. In math, we are beginning Geometry. This is a great Brain Pop for review: https://jr.brainpop.com/math/geometry/planeshapes/ We will discuss the attributes of 2-dimensional shapes. Their DREAM Sheet goes along with this information. We are also working on Math 4 Today Week 25, with a test on Friday.
Graded test papers, Dojo Reports, and newsletters will be sent home today. Please sign them and return them tomorrow. Students did an amazing job at our Social Studies Program on Friday. If you were unable to attend, please watch on the video below! Thank you so much to those of you that have been participating in our blog discussions each week. The students love when they get comments from "outsiders" and it really does contribute to our discussions and promote deeper thinking. Updates: I am looking forward to another great week. Students are excited and engaged in all aspects of our classroom -- I love that they are so into learning!

My dream is to create a 21st Century classroom that encourages collaboration, integrates technology, and promotes thinking deeply.
