Week in Review

This week, we continued our unit in Geometry. We used the Depth and Complexity icons to deepen our understanding of how geometry shows up in the world around us. We studied how we can see Geometry Across Disciplines in nature, transportation, architecture, and art. Then, we studied how the geometry in architecture has Changed Over Time. Students used the Language of the Discipline to articulate and defend their thinking.

In reading, we did a nonfiction text feature hunt in our books. Throughout the week, students chose different text features to highlight from their books and wrote how it helped them learn more about the topic. 

In science we continued our unit on weather.  

Request for LEGO Donations for LEGO Club

We are looking to enhance our LEGO Club by incorporating LEGO bricks into our lessons and activities for kindergarten through second grade.

We would greatly appreciate it if you would consider donating any unused or unwanted LEGO sets or pieces that you may have at home. These donations will be used primarily for STEM challenges. No contribution is too small, and any LEGO pieces—whether large or small, complete or partial—would be incredibly helpful.

If you have any LEGO pieces you’re willing to part with, please send them in with your child or feel free to drop them off in the foyer with Lego Club or Mrs. Griffard labeled on them. If you have any questions or would like more details, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you so much for your support and generosity. We’re excited to see the creativity and learning that will come from this project!
