Not a good impression when I am late with our blog the very first week! ;-)
We had a wonderful first few days. I can already tell that it's going to be a great year!
If you can, please vote for Marshwood Great Works School to win a grant to help fund our outdoor classroom endeavors. https://winterkids.org/portfolio-item/marshwood-great-works-school/
Math - We have started Unit 1 in math. This unit will focus on the volume of rectangular figures.
Language Arts - We have started reading the novel, The Cay by Theodore Taylor. It is a classic story about friendship and survival. We will read this book as a whole class so I can model book clubs, write about reading, vocabulary, and have great class discussions.
Other - We have been completing a lot of connection projects. The students conducted interviews with their peers and are creating slideshows to present what they have learned. This is a fun get-to-know-you activity as well as an introduction or reintroduction to creating slideshows as a possible project modality.
Science - Every Friday the students will be participating in some sort of science, technology, engineering, or art activity. We call it STEAM Fridays.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. The best way to get a hold of me is through email. I try to check it multiple times during the day, sara.lindgren@rsu35.org
Have a great week!
