Thursday, April 25, 2024 Homework

Please send in your free vote every 24hrs for me if you can...I'd greatly appreciate it. I am so humbled to have made it so far already. It started two months ago with tens of thousands of contestants and now I'm in the top 5. It's amazing.
 
 
Math - None (We did so much math the past 2 days with about 8 worksheets that today we did an extended Social Studies lesson during Math class. We read Chapter 8 of our Wonder of the Ancient World books. This chapter was a recap of all 7 Ancient Wonders and now we are finished with the book and the comprehension packet as well. All books and work was turned into me and graded. Well done by all!)
 
Science - None (Today we went into the Science lab just for a few minutes to see the baby chicks eggs beginning to hatch and peck out. The students loved this and can't wait to see them out and about soon. After that we came back to class and continued working on our Wonders project in the program called Canva. I have a fun surprise for all parents for when the students are all done with their projects sometime next week. They truly are having fun using Canva.)
 
Social Studies - None (Today we focused our learning on a key person in the Civil War... Abraham Lincoln...we read a packet on him and answered questions. Then I had them watch a short video about him that I assigned in Google Classroom. We also did another State Abbreviations worksheet in preparation for our test on May 31, 2024. Please note that today a thick packet of extra practice worksheets are being sent home with your child. We talked about how they need to give this packet to you to hold on to. Thank you.)
 
Reminders:
 
~ No School tomorrow - Friday, April 26, 2024
 
- I offer office hours Monday - Thursday if your child needs me to reteach something in Math, Science or Social Studies. Please email me for assistance and we will meet via google meet link. 
 
- I offer afterschool Math group ENRICHMENT on Thursday's of every week until 3:15pm. Some weeks we review and some weeks we go ahead and learn the next lessons. We will also work on strengthening our math facts in multiplication. It is $30 per week if you'd like to join. You can come and go from week to week, but it is very beneficial. Contact me with any questions. 
 
- Amazon wish list, if you can donate to our classroom... https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3RS691H76HBK0?ref_=wl_share
 
Upcoming events:
 
~ Field Trip on May 2nd to Kenosha Public Museum to learn about Native American tribes that lived in Wisconsin and also dissecting Owl Pellets. It's mixture of Science and Social Studies. We also have another Field Trip on May 22nd to the Civil War Museum in Kenosha. This will be a great experience for the students to see artifacts and listen to real life soldier stories as we finish the unit on the Civil War at that time. More info to come for chaperoning by our Room Parent's. Field Trip forms to come home in April. So excited for these opportunities of enrichment. 
 
~ After much research on my end, I have decided to end this year in Science with a bit of Biology. I surprised the students and told them that we will be dissecting a crayfish on May 24th and an earthworm on May 15th. I would say 99% of them were so excited about this. A couple were not thrilled with the idea. Please know that this will not be graded, nor would I make any student do something they do not want to do or feel comfortable doing. This is strictly for fun and is totally optional. If they choose to not participate, they can come to the Science lab with us and read a book in the hallway. I'm very excited about this opportunity for the students.
