Is it spring? Is it winter?? While I love the change of seasons in WI, I'm more than ready to be done with the snow and see the daffodils and the tulips pop through! At the very least, I'm hoping for no snow when we walk to the movie theater next week. Look for the permission slip to come home this Friday. The kids are all so excited! Reading: We are still learning different types of traditional literature. This week we started learning about fables, and how they are different from fairy tales. Their job today was to read through some of Aesop's fables online. I told them I would post the link to the website, so here it is: read.gov/aesop/001.html Their assignment for tomorrow was to read a few of his fables, pick one and make an illustration, as well as writing the title and the moral. Tomorrow they will present a summary of the fable and their picture. Math: No assessment coming soon. One thing we did this week was practice our math skills using Khan academy. This site has a nice feature when you can create assignments based on individual MAP testing scores. Each student has a unique log in, and then specific assignments were created that matches their needs. If you would like to use this at home, here is the site: www.khanacademy.org/mappers They should know their user name, and the password for all students is: saintjoseph If your lovely does not have me for math, just let me know if you would like an account set up for them and I can make that happen!
