In Reading, we did our first Interactive Read Aloud of 2013, Stone Fox. We really loved the book, despite its sad ending. We enjoyed watching the tv movie, Stone Fox, this week, and completed a comparing/contrasting activity about the book and the movie. Many of us enjoyed the book more than the movie.
Next week, we plan on beginning our new Interactive Read Aloud, Snow Treasure.
In math we have been learning a lot about fractions. Some of this has been challenging for the children, but with practice, they will do great! We have learned many math games to use with fractions. If your child would like to bring a game home with him/her, that would be a great way to practice.
In Social Studies, we wrapped up our unit on Canada, and had our unit test yesterday. We will begin our study of the United States in the next few weeks. In Science we are wrapping up the first part of our weather unit, Weather Maps and Instruments. We have a quiz scheduled for next Thursday. The study guide went home today, and has been uploaded. You can find the link to the right.
This week was a busy one!
On Wednesday, the Miscoe Hill Skippers jump rope team came to Kennedy School from the Miscoe Hill Middle School in Mendon. They came to kick off our Jump Rope for Heart program, and to get our students excited about becoming "heart healthy". They were fantastic! We were all impressed by how much practice these students do. They are really dedicated! Below are a few pictures and videos of their performance.
Today was our chorus concert! We were all dressed beautifully! Below are some pictures, and a sneak peek of one of the songs.
