Shades of Meaning

You may have heard your child mention shades of meaning this week and wondered what they were talking about. We are expanding our vocabulary and trying to come up with many words for a verb. For example:jump,bounce,hop,leap,bound. Practicing this will help to improve writing as well.

In the science lab we created our own sundials. They actually work-just make sure the N is always pointing North. Also from the science lab, we have 2 new class pets bullfrog tadpoles we named Jackie and Jimmy. We will observe them to see how they grow and change. This is a great preview for our life cycle unit.

Report cards will be send home next wee. Please look for them in your child's take home folder.
