- Tonight is the PS 11 Spring Auction and Gala at The Hudson Terrace! I look forward to seeing you there!
- This Friday is Hannah Ticoll's (our fabulous intern from Teacher College) last day. We are working on a special project, which will be presented to her by the kids on Friday.
- This week I will be sending home permission slips for our upcoming field trip on May 27th to Stoneledge Farms. Keep your eyes open! It will most likely be sent home Thursday.
CURRICULUM
Reading: This week we are diving into other books in our mystery series, and studying connection across books as well as growing ideas. We are experimenting with different talk tools to strengthen the discussions we are having with club members.
Writing: We just launched our newest writing unit- Creating Information Books about Countries Around the World. We are revisiting text features this week, and will select a new country of interest by Friday.
Math: Last week we launched our newest math unit: Data Collection and Graphing. Throughout this month we are teaching the kids the process of developing a question, collecting data, representing the data, describing and summarizing the data, and drawing conclusions. We will do three cycles of this implementing different types of graphs. Last week we highlighted bar graphs. Towards the middle of this week we will focus on picture graphs.
Social Studies: We are wrapping up our study of Nigeria and will soon be moving on to Folk Tales around the World!
Have a great week,
Ms. Bouchard
