Busy Week

Today we were honored by a visit from Dr. Torres!!! What a surprise! He took a moment to speak to the kids and even took a look at our meal worms. He promised to return with a "little surprise" for us. We can't wait!

We did get our meal worms in this week and the students are busy doing their scientific observations. We are learning about insects.

Today we learned how important schema is to reading...to writing...to math...and more. The more you know, the more you will understand. We talked about how to build schema: reading, going places (museums, etc.), conversations with others--- all our experiences help us build schema.

We continued to work on our personal narratives..another place we use schema. We also learned more about expanded form in math.

Have a GREAT weekend!
