Morning Meeting Share Time
Series Books Mini Unit Wrap- Up
The first and second graders spent time meeting with their book clubs to talk about their fiction books. We focused on gathering information about our characters, noticing how characters respond to problems and how they work to solve them. Later we used this information to connect to new books in the series. We used our background knowledge to make predictions and compare/contrast books in the series. In the upcoming week, we will wrap up this mini unit with a poster project!
Reading our Favorite Books on Epic!
On Thursday, June 2 your student will get a preview of next year. We call this activity preview day for an important reason. As you all know, most classrooms here at WES are set up in multi-age groupings. The K-3 team of teachers meet together to plan for the academic and social/emotional needs of students in the coming year.
Some students will be placed in the 2-3 classroom and some will be placed in our 1-2 classroom for 2nd grade. All 3rd grade students will move over to the 2-3 classroom. Please talk with your student and remind them that NO ONE is "staying back" if they remain in our room for 2nd grade. I often choose students who will be kind and helpful to the new first graders coming in our room.
Your student will get a chance to meet their new classmates, check out their classroom and get a feel for what next year will be like. In our room, we will do guided tour and play a game to help get to know each other.
Special End of Year Projects
Some of our most treasured staff will be leaving us at the end of this year! Mr. and Mrs. Towle, Mrs. Wright and Ms. Debbie will all be retiring after this year. Our small school is busy making special gifts for all of them.
Here are some students creating detailed illustrations for a special surprise!
