As you can see, we had a great field trip to the NILE!! Students were so well behaved and I was so proud of them. Thank you to Nikki Seville for going as our chaperone. You were awesome!! Have your child tell you about 3 of the things they learned today and write them in the planner for free money. Before we left today, we did a scavenger hunt in Science learning some new fun weather facts. We are now done with that part of our weather unit. The part we have left is the story writing component. Students will be writing a story in first person point of view as a raindrop. We will take each part of the water cycle day by day. Today's part is just the introduction. Students are to come up with a name, physical description, and location for their raindrop and write just that part tonight. See my example that is in their science notebooks for a model example. Then parents I need your help for the next part. After your child writes it, could you edit it and check it for punctuation, capitalization, and correct spellings. I can not get all these done in one day. Remember tonight is only writing the introduction. Then tomorrow I will give them the 2nd part. Thank you. Also, they have to make their raindrop on the piece of tagboard that went home with them tonight. The sky is the limit on the creativity for this one and what I know of this group, we are going to have some awesome raindrops. Reminder: Tomorrow is an early out-12:00 dismissal. Also, tomorrow we are having an off site evacuation drill. We will be walking to the church on Wicks as that is our location so make sure your child dresses appropriately for the weather. Have a great night.
