We are finishing up our solar system unit in room 231. The kids have been actively engaged, and have soaked in some really cool things about our 11 planets. Yes, I said 11! There were 3 dwarf planets ( Eris, Pluto, and Ceres). Below are some pictures of the students' 'aliens' that needed accommodations to survive on their researched planet.
As you are aware, I am lucky enough to be your child's student teacher! You all have wonderful kids that listen and respect their teachers. I have had a very enjoyable 5 weeks thus far and I am looking forward to spending my days with this fantastic group of students for the next 2 weeks. While I have been at Eagle Heights we were able to do some really cool activities.
Right now in Language Arts we are learning Main Idea and Supporting Details. We have spent about a week on this topic and they are really understanding the material. We have also started a Literature Circle on the book Hatchet. We have worked through chapter 6 and your child will be periodically bringing home a packet of questions for homework. In Math we are working on a Geometry unit that we are almost completed with. During this unit we have worked on angles, lines, rays, shapes, symmetry, and converting measurements. In Science we are finishing up body systems. I have done the circulatory, respiratory, nervous, and finishing with the digestive system. The students just finished their Power Point presentations on the Nervous System today and they were great! A lot of hard work and collaboration with their peers paid off. They were all very good! If you need anything do not hesitate to call the school or email me at Mrs. Felkey's account. |
