Week of August 29 and September 5, 2016
A Note from Ms. Jazmin:
I hope everybody weathered the storm safely. It's seems that about half the class lost power at some point. I'm just thankful that was the worst of it for most!
Students are really starting to fall into the groove and your can hear a busy buzz in our classroom.
Last week we had a birthday Walk Around the Sun and our first personal timeline was shared. Because of the storm we were unable to bake the birthday treat like we had planned on Friday, so we moved it to this Friday! The student requested chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. It was delicious! We have two birthdays next week, and those two students got together and requested GREEN SMOOTHIES! Did you ever think a child would request green smoothies over brownies? I have to say I am pleasantly surprised!
As we continue our study of North America that we began last year, I am asking that students choose a biome from North America and use a research guide to help them study the people, plants, animals, etc. from that biome in North America; Tropical Forest, Desert, Polar Regions, Wetlands, Grasslands, Mountains, and Temperate Forest. They will choose next week. We will transition into South America mid year.
We have received many postcards from throughout North America, but we are still missing some locations! We would love post cards from Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, San Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Virgin Islands, and Greenland. We are also missing several of the mid western states. We have not received post cards for the states that do not have pins.

Feel free to share details on social media as well! This activity really helps bring the children into the research.

Upcoming Healthy and Nutrient Dense snack weeks for 25 students: We do have a low level peanut allergy in the classroom, so we prefer peanut free snacks so that the student may also participate in snack with the class.
Some suggestions for snack are: precut fruit (apples, grapes, bananas cut in half, oranges, etc.), precut vegetables with hummus for dipping, cheese and crackers, granola bars or chewies, trail mix, applesauce, hummus and crackers, yogurt or Gogurt, graham crackers… The purpose of snack is to provide a nutritious energy booster when the students need it. Please keep in mind the nutritional value when choosing a snack.
