Week of August 19-23, 2013

Well, we survived the first full week of school together!  And, what a great week it was! We endured a regular schedule which threw all of us at one point for a loop!  We were constantly checking the clock in an effort to be respectful of class start and stop times.  And, special area groups are still taking some getting used to.  BUT, there was the first LOL (Layers of Language) lesson, Orientation of the FFFBI, and the debut of the math homework packet!  What an exciting week!  I bet you can't wait for this week!

Let's support Kindergarten color week by wearing as much of a certain color on a certain day.  Here's the schedule:

Monday, August 19th - Red Day

Tuesday, August 20th - no color (It's Picture Day, remember?)

Wednesday, August 21st - Orange Day

Thursday, August 22nd - Yellow Day

Friday, August 23rd - Green Day

Science Happenings

We are currently using the FFFBI Academy to study and practice the Inquiry Process.  If you have a few minutes, check out the website.  Students may feel free to complete any of the Training Games or other rounds of Orientation.  Remember Sensational Science Students: If you choose to explore on your own, do not give away the secrets and answers in class.  These are to simply give you a better peek at what the FFFBI Academy is and make you more confident in using it.  Now, get on the Internet and have some fun with these fine feathered friends!



Upcoming Math Lessons for this week and next...
