Poem of the week<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dreams <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hold fast to dreams<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For if dreams die<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is a broken-winged bird<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That cannot fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hold fast to dreams <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For when dreams go<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is a barren field<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frozen with snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

_____ Langston Hughes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was happening? <\/span><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it was a short week, my explorers were still learning about the letter of the week, the letter J<\/strong>. They created their “mini J book”<\/strong>, and collected different images that start with the letter J<\/strong> and glued them inside. They also finished their “I Can Write”<\/strong> packet about the letter of the week, the letter J<\/strong>. The explorers made a Jaguar out of construction papers that represented the letter J<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For their reading comprehension, the explorers were reading “The Homesick Penguin” <\/strong>book by “Ken Bowser”<\/strong>. We answered “wh” questions, such as, “What story did we read?”<\/strong> and “who was the character in the story?”<\/strong>. We have been also learning how to identify and differentiate between words and pictures when are presented by the staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, we continued our core words with the word “GO”<\/strong>. Each one of the explorers has their own copy of the book “Go Fish”<\/strong>. They enjoyed reading the book with the teacher and other staff, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We enjoyed this week’s science lesson. We continued to learn about our five senses. We read “My Popcorn Story”<\/strong> book. We even made popcorn and our reading buddies enjoyed eating the popcorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week’s math was about fractions and counting. We learned how to fill in a whole part and a half part. We counted Legos, cones, and many more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big shout out and thank you to Adam F., Leah H., and Sara N. from Ms. Polster a fourth-grade teacher for joining our classroom on Thursday for the “Reading Buddies” program. They did an awesome and amazing job reading a story with our students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
