Happy Tuesday,
Today we have very little homework. One group was so focused when I had to be in a meeting for 35 minutes today, that they did all their work and homework. The substitute really appreciated them, but the majority of the class was off topic and had to be retaught the math lesson.
Please speak with your child about respecting our classroom and the teacher ,even when we have a substitute or guest teacher. We will have a substitute teacher Thursday, as well as Officer Prim visiting and reading to the class and guest art teacher Mr. B. I expect the class to be well behaved, pay attention and get their work done. We need to learn everyday!
Tonight's homework:
Reading: 20 minutes or RAZ
Spelling: Mrs. A's group-22.3
Ms. Y's group-worksheet
Math: Group 1- Lesson 5
Group 2-Lesson 8 (everyone finished in class).
See you tomorrow!!!!

Wild Animals and Covered Wagons
The photos above our from our visit with YSI Vasona. The Youth Science Institute has many animals and brought some to us so we could learn from them. The chinchilla was by far the cutest and the tarantula was one of the scariest for our students. This was possible to our partnership with the San Jose Museum of Art. Mr. B., our art teacher, was there and was very impressed with how much knowledge our children had on amphibians, mammals, reptiles and environments. I, of course was beaming proud!
Below, are some of our covered wagons made from construction paper, cardboard, tissue paper and sticks. We created some horses, oxen, people, and goods from clay and the students had to engineer methods to attach them to the wagon. Some use pipe cleaners while other used stir sticks and straws. They are adorable and will be on display during our Open House.
