On Friday we read Draw Me A Star by Eric Carle. In the afternoon we began a star craft based on the book. Kids did an awesome job! We will continue this project today.
Today while the 3rd graders took the MCAS, kindergartners sat down with their own test: the GRADE, which is an assessment of language arts skills. They did the same test in the fall, and with all they've learned, it seems much easier the second time around!
In math today we began a new unit about data collection. The first activity involved each student finding a way to show a picture of how many kids are in the class. Each student had to first choose how to represent each child in the class. Some used stick figures to represent each student, some used stickers, some used numbers.
And a big thank you to Emily, Sylvia's mom, who comes faithfully every Friday to help with math. We are so lucky to have such awesome parent volunteers!
On Friday we sent home a survey about our blog, asking for your comments and suggestions. Your input is always welcome on the blog itself, too. Please feel free to leave us your comments. Thank you!
