A Different Kind of Homework Next Week


Next week is the last week of homework. 

We have decided to do something a bit different for the week. Instead of the traditional grid sheet, your child will be asked to conduct an interview or do home research about a topic related to accident prevention. We will use the information they gather to work on an in-class project designed to teach others how to prevent accidents. On Monday you child will bring home a project sheet with their topic and the questions they thought about to help them understand the topic best. Please answer at least one question each day so they will be prepared to do their class work the next day. They can answer in written or picture form in the space provided under each question. As always, if you have any questions or needs, please let us know. If you know your week is super busy and want to do more than one question each night, that is okay too. If you wish to get a jump on the topic this weekend, please email me and I can give you your child's topic ahead of time. Though we prefer they have a chance to write their questions in class before they do their research, we understand that this time of year can be really busy for families. We thought this would be a fun way to teach the topic and end the year's homework!

KIndergator Update 9.14

I am watching a 6 year old jump off a high diving board here at Georgia Tech as I type this. There is so much excitement and fear at the same time in her eyes as she gets ready to jump. It reminds me of how our kiddos look right before they sound out a big word in class. It is such fun to watch. Here are some things we worked on this week: Reading: We continued blending sounds together in guided reading groups. We began introducing the “letters that work together to make one sound” trick with blends like (sw, sn, st, sp). We also began our study of the parts of a story by discussing characters. Did you know anything can me a character if you write a story about it? We read about a blue dot as a character and a chameleon. We also reviewed th difference between real reading and fake fiction through our topic of chameleons this week. Math: We finished naming all the 2d shapes and describing them. Next week we will begin “eating” them. If your child can correctly describe the at
