6/17 - Last Day of School for WCS K-8 Students (Dismissal at Noon)

 *In math we finished unit 12 and the end-year assessment. We are spending time each day reviewing and refining important concepts and skills.This week we worked hard on equal shares and geometric shapes.

*Students completed their research on a bird of their choice. They wrote a report from their notes, practiced drawing realistic pictures of their bird and typed their own report in Google Docs. I will turn these into bookmarks this weekend. You will be amazed by all their projects. We have also been working on our memory books, writing letters to the third grade teachers and completing the year-end writing prompt.

*We did an experiment testing out different bird beaks (with tweezers, spoons and straws) and did a bird scavenger hunt as well. We also explored climates for various birds and learned about hot, cold and temperate climates. 

*In phonics we worked on the suffixes -ible and -able and the prefixes uni, bi, tri. We also reviewed doubling rules when adding suffixes and when to drop the final e and how to spell words with -sion and -tion endings. 

*We will start to clear out our lockers and desks a bit at a time. If you can send a plastic bag or a recyclable grocery bag next week, it will help your child carry some extra items home.

We went on a bird habitat hunt Friday afternoon!

Bird beak experiment

It's hard to pick up seeds with tweezers!

The straw was also hard to use!

The spoon worked well for seeds in water.
