Happy Monday!
We are happy to have another full week together at BCE! We are moving closer and closer to the end of the year, but we are determined to FINISH STRONG! We want to celebrate things we are noticing...first off, these kids are INHALING books! They are keeping both teachers busy recommending and selecting books for them. We hope you are hearing more about the characters they’re meeting, and the journeys they are following. We also want to share the joy that their laughter brings as they now have known each other for several months. We watch how they look for each other each day and enjoy chatting...whether in breakout rooms or in large groups. Readers will continue to follow Alex and The Man in the White Shirt through September 11th. We are keeping an eye on our reading and making inferences and forming theories along the way. We are also stopping to savor beautiful lines of writing...it’s fun to hear them say, “THAT’S A SIMILE!” and know how it’s being used. Writers will explore some different types of writing with the Library of Congress Ambassador for the year, Jason Reynolds. His inspiration stretches us to explore different genres and styles of writing. Historians started the week on Zoom with a docent from the Bob Bullock Museum who helped us explore Texas History during the US Civil War. We will examine several primary sources to gather a deeper understanding of that time period. Mathematicians are wrapping measurement with a scavenger hunt and an asynchronous Kahoot. You and your 4th grader are welcome to play a round of Kahoot while reviewing together anytime this week. We’re also talking about the importance of financial literacy as one of the most important ways we apply math concepts. We’ll classify fixed and variable expenses, learn how to calculate profit, and consider the purpose of financial institutions.
