Day 3 ) - Done :0

Make sure you join us NEXT Tuesday at the CiCi's on Baymeadows for Beauclerc Family Night! This is a great time to come out and meet other Beauclerc families. (It doesn't hurt that you can eat all the pizza you want!)

Well, we have completed our third day of school, and have we been working hard. Monday we started building boxes and trying to determine the number of cubes that would fit inside the box. Let's just say over the last three days we have s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d their minds into thinking about math. Today we shared the formula for volume (l x w x h) and you could just see their little minds clicking!

Today we also finished our first level reader in reading. This allows students to build fluency and increase comprehension. Most students were able to finish in one class period. We will work on these each week, and students will be amazed at how well they can answer the questions asked of them. Tomorrow we are actually going to work in our literacy centers so be sure to ask your student which center they picked!

In Science we are learning how to use science tools. Today, we looked at sugar under a microscope, and observed what 1000 ML looks like in different containers. We learned that a containers shape could be deceptive. We also used pan balances and double beam balances! We are creating budding scientists.

Social Studies is teaching us about land forms and Earth's climate as a result of certain land forms. We will be exploring how our nation was developed and who were some of our first settlers.

Yes, we have been busy! Friday is our first spelling and vocabulary test-- study those words!

Planners arrived today, so students were busy filling them out. It is the expectation of our Principal and ourselves that these are signed nightly by a parent. Please make sure to sign your student's planner daily.
