Welcome, 2018! The first two weeks of the year, we wrapped up our science fiction unit, but I won't be surprised if students continue reading this genre! They didn't all realize what "science fiction" meant, so they didn't even know they were reading it at times! We also dug into some science FACT this week, as first we took on various perspectives and then gathered evidence for roundtable discussions regarding autonomous vehicles. These discussions will change as they grow older and get ready to drive... the future should be interesting, for sure! These last two weeks of second quarter also included time for me and Mrs. Rehberger to meet one-on-one with students regarding their learning in ELA. These conversations are golden - they are so very valuable. Even if we were using "typical" grades, I'd love to have these conversations with your children. Be sure to check out the paperwork that comes home next week for the bigger picture. Check out our "scholars' notes" below for more specifics about our week, and enjoy the photos!
