Reading: March​ Reading Month is here! Our goal for K-5 this month is for students to step up and step out in their reading. They will step up as they work hard to become stronger readers. The Kindergarten team has designated a special activity for each week. All details below in our Housekeeping section.
Writing: ​Everything is set for launching our magazine full of How to’s. Children are working hard editing their papers and making them more readable to readers. They are ready to teach a lot of things. After that we will move to writing Nonfiction “All About” books! Each child will choose a topic of interest, research, and organize their information into chapters. This is quite the task but I know these writers are ready for the challenge!
Math:​ We are having fun learning about graphics. Children will collect and represent data on graphs. They will also interpret the graph to answer questions about the data shown. Thanks for helping your child learn how to create, read, and interpret graphs.
Social Studies: It is time to study in detail all about Zeeland. Thanks for all your help at home reading the Zeeland historical packet (I sent it home last week. If you did not receive it feel free to ask me for another one.) Many students already know a lot about our Zeeland. I hope our visit to the Museum will help them to better understand the history of our community since its inception.
