I-ready testing

Luke and Zane were our top growth earners in reading while Abby made the highest score. So proud of these kids!

Planets

We recently learned there are 8 planets in our solar system. The children learned their names, facts about each one, and the order they are in working your way out from the sun.
The kids also got to write about which planet they would want to visit. We have been working on stating our opinions along with two reasons. I was so impressed with their reasons for visiting a variety of the planets.

Aspiring Astronauts

We learned about the race to get a man on the moon. The students learned this was accomplished on the Apollo 11 mission and even heard Neil Armstrong's famous words: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind".
Afterwards children were able to try "astronaut ice cream" while they filled at an application to become an astronaut.
My favorite response to the question " Why do you think you would make a good astronaut?" Was "beacause I would bring some good information back".
