What is going on in theme (homeroom) this week?

The students that have decided to run for mayor will be doing their speeches today. The students will be “registering to vote” and then will be “going to the poll” to elect their mayor. The outcome of who becomes mayor is irrelevant. The purpose of this lesson is so that the students know the role of poiticians and can see how an election works.

Wednesday workshop will be done on Thursday this week (I know, it’s an oxy-moron)! The students will be doing an ongoing project where they will be creating a character. As the year progresses, they’ll be adding embellishments to their character, such as a birth certificate, passport, wallet/purse items, clothes, writing a letter, etc. It is going to be a fun, creative and hands-on activity

What is going on in theme (homeroom) this week?

This week Miss Russo will be taking over theme! The students will be doing activities, read alouds, and a project to help them understand the different types of communities; such as home, town, state, country and continent.

In the next couple of weeks, we will be making our own town. Each student will be in charge of making a building from a shoebox. We will then use these buildings to put together our own small town in the classroom. It is very important that the building in no bigger than a shoebox, as we don’t have much room in the classroom. Please see more details in today’s Monday Folder.

What is going on in theme (homeroom) this week?

Today we are going to do a small activity in theme and the rest of the time will be geared toward catching up on any unfinished work. Tuesday we will begin our next theme unit which is maps and communities. It is one of my favorites! We’ll start out learning the important attributes a map needs, learning to read maps, and then making our own!

You should find your child’s placements for math and literacy in the Monday Folder. Please bring these with you on Curriculum Night so that you will know which classes to visit. Please keep in mind that we will be observing and switching students if we see the need throughout the next couple of weeks.

VOLUNTEERING-

Due to our class being lucky enough to have a student teacher this first half of the year, I will not be using classroom volunteers. However, I will still need volunteers to do some things at home for me, field trips and our class parties. Throughout the school there are also a lot of volunteer opportunities. Such as, your child’s Math/Lit. classes and helping in the library. I appreciate your understanding on this, as Miss Russo needs to complete a certain amount of time to teaching to earn her teaching license.
