Maple Syrup, Planting, & Rainforests

 



Just like Artemis II, this week has flown by! What a wonderful week together. Students enjoyed watching—or rewatching—the clip of the space launch—what great inspiration! 🚀

This week, we began learning about the lush rainforest ecosystem. Wow, what a difference from the desert! Students are loving the variety of animals and plant life, from the canopy to the forest floor.

During our word work time, we reviewed digraphs th, sh, ch, and ck. Students enjoyed going on a word hunt to search for words with digraphs and did a lot of writing—wow! Students are also continuing to practice long vowel patterns in their small group work.

In math this week, we were immersed in teen numbers—recognizing them in different ways and practicing place value.

During ECO, our focus was on the legends of maple sugaring. I hope your student shared a story with you! We acted out three different versions and had a sweet taste of some syrup.

We ended our week with some seed planting and a garden parade featuring new tools for our garden shed! It felt good to get our hands into some dirt again. Planting season is on its way!  🌻
