Where do art and math meet? We're playing with that idea in our classrooms and in collaboration with Quest Theatre. The students are currently preparing for a play about Math. Books are being adapted in entertaining and interesting ways for our performance this Friday during the morning, and Friday night at 6pm.
The students have been read 2 math stories/poems and are in the process of choosing which story they'd like to adapt into a performance of their own. We, as teachers, are observing the process so we can grow and challenge ourselves as educators. The entire thing has been very exciting!
At this point in time, students are being re-assessed for their reading levels so we can clarify their gains throughout the course of the year. This is a fairly long process as the assessment takes about 10-20 minutes per child. We're using our Daily 5 and guided reading time to complete this task. We will be telling students their new guided reading level after our assessments. If you have any questions about your child's level, please feel free to ask, we're more than happy to explain!
Upcoming Events:
-Wednesday, May 20: Welcoming our new Assistant Principal, Mr. Craig
-Friday, May 22: Quest Theatre morning and evening performance. Details to come, but the show begins at 6pm.
Question of the Day:
What was the most memorable part of your first day of Quest?
