Half-way through the Year!

In literacy this week we honed our sentence writing skills and continued to learn how to get super smart about nonfiction topics:


In Unit of Inquiry we tracked how things like toys and dance changed over time using timelines:



We hit our 90th day in school this week!

In arts we looked at the collages of French artist Henri Matisse and began creating our own:



In maths we are talking about time, introducing the concepts of whole, half, and a fourth (or quarter) and always practicing our number sense. 

Of course, we always make time for a brain break to dance!

In preparation for conferences we took some time to reflect on our skills and make goals for the second term.
Please take a minute to review our updated Coronavirus Health & Safety Policy

Please also read the Scholastic Book Club Letter and browse to order books here. This order closes February 12th and is a great opportunity to support your child's development while supporting your school! DSKI earns books for our collection while you add to yours!

Reminders:

Monday: 
  • Turn in Word Study books (remember to not only sort and paste, but practice writing/using your words!)
  • Reading Log check
  • Swimming
Tuesday 
  • Library
Next week: 3-Way Conferences 
Thank you for booking your conference. As mentioned, these will be with the parent this time due to the state of emergency and all held online. I will send a Zoom invitation to you. 
Each conference is 20 minutes so please be prompt and understand that I have to end at the scheduled time due to the next conference beginning. If there is something further to discuss we will have to make an appointment to meet the following week.
