We have worked hard these past few days getting used to new routines, reading our first story - "The Mixed Up Chameleon", refreshing our brains on Fundations, playing with new friends on the playground, exploring the program Graph Club in the computer lab, and even learning a few new fun tricks on the Smartboard. Stay tuned for more on our class' graphing projects - they're going to be great!!
Slowly, Miss Mills will start picking up more and more teaching responsibilities. This week she started with one subject, social studies. She has done a great job teaching the students about diversity by using a number of trade books, group activities and even brought in a guest speaker with some help from Mrs. Vasconcellos across the hall! She is a wonderful addition to our classroom family and we are fortunate to have her.
I can't wait to see everyone at Back-to-School night next Wednesday, September 19!! Here's a teaser question to get your minds thinking... "If you could be any character from Gilligan's Island, which one would you be and why?"

Ask your child to tell you one thing he/she learned about Brazil today. Can they remember what language he speaks? Or what his house looks like? Or what their favorite sport is? |
