We had a great first week back at school! Students settled into their routines nicely, although they were a little tired at times. 💤
This week, we dove into the waters of fish. This will wrap up our Zoology unit shortly. Students are learning so many fun and fascinating facts about these aquatic creatures.
Kindergarteners began a new digital literacy program this week called Lalilo. Similar to Happy Numbers, Lalilo is a wonderful tool that meets students where they are academically. The program is completely individualized, allowing students to engage in games that build letter recognition, sounds, and early word skills.
In math, we explored story problems and began identifying what each problem is asking. Students practiced representing their thinking on paper using drawings and simple equations.
We also kicked off our yearly Scat and Track program, presented by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. Over the next month, we will watch videos featuring Vermont wildlife and learn about each species’ habitat, life cycle, tracks, and scat. This week, we studied the gray fox, a nocturnal species. The following day, we went on a tracking expedition to search for this unique animal. While it’s still up for debate whether we found gray fox tracks, we did discover many other animal tracks along the way! 🐿
