Friday Updates

4 Winds

This week we had our first 4 Winds! We did some exploration of leaves and worked as detectives to figure out what kind of critter could have eaten each leaf. We also learned about ecosystems and habitats from the characters in the puppet show. After the puppet show, we worked together to figure out who-eats-who in the ecosystem. Thank you Heather for coming in to teach us all about leaf eaters, habitats, and ecosystems!
  

    

 

                

 

Home Reading

Today we visited the library and learned how to shop for books for our reading homework. Each student has a mesh zippered pouch in their backpack with home reading books, a letter explaining reading homework, and a book log. Students will have an opportunity to return books on Monday's, Wednesday's, and Friday's. Please read the letter in your child's book bag and let me know if you have any questions!  

Trash, Compost, Recycling

Today three students from third grade came in to our classroom to talk about what goes in the trash, compost, and recycle bin. We practiced putting our waste into the correct bins at the end of snack and lunch. Ask you child to share with you what types of items belong in each bin.
