Newsletter 02.06.17



Good Afternoon,
A few quick notes for you from the Chameleon class. 

This week has been almost entirely spent on children completing either their geometry math assessment or publishing their literary essays. There were a number of children who finished both at the start of week; I was amazed with these children for being so well organized and ahead of schedule. Those who had finished spent time working on their art work, continuing to create buildings for our miniature city and working on their science presentations.
Children have now completely planned out their experiments related to one topic that we studied in science this year. Children spent time creating a hypothesis and then an experiment to test that. Some children will require time to do their experiments at home, please assist them in filming or photographing any experiment that does take place there. Some children are choosing to do their experiments in school, this will happen on Monday 12th June. Following this there will be a presentation from each child explaining their experiment, results and a connection to a larger issue. This will take place on Monday 19th June.
As well as the geometry projects, I have been doing some problem solving teaching, this time approaching it from a different angle. We looked at a number of different problems and categorized them into easy, medium and hard. We then discussed what made a problem easy, medium or hard. At the end of the week we started to look at creating our own word problems based on number sentences. We will continue to do this after Wegscheide.

Next week:
Wegscheide!!!
On Monday 5th school is closed.
Tuesday 6th:
Children to be dropped off at school before 8:45 as usual. There will be a space near the front office for children to leave their bags when they arrive.
8:45 - Children will come up to class. If you wish to stay to say goodbye to your child please wait downstairs.
9:00 – We will begin to load up the buses.
9:30 – buses will leave.
 Tuesday to Friday – we will all have a great time at Wesgscheide.
Friday 9th:
12:00 – buses will return to school and children will be picked up. No supervision will be provided in the afternoon. When you pick your child up please make sure to check in with me so I know they’ve been collected.  
Things to remember:
-          Any medication that your child is bringing must come with a signed letter to show that they know how and when to take this. If the medication is prescribed by a doctor we also need a doctors signature. (form for this included in email)
-          If you haven’t returned the tick removal letter and would like to, please bring it in on Tuesday morning.
-          We will only call you if there is a serious medical emergency. No news is good news.

A message from Frau Fojcik:
Liebe Eltern der Chamäleon-Klasse,

in dieser Woche haben die Schüler Übungen im blauen und im grünen Flex-und-Flora-Heft bearbeitet. Zudem haben wir die Klassenlektüre „Das geheimnisvolle Spukhaus“ weitergelesen. Die Schüler haben außerdem eigene Lese-Mal-Rätsel (Logicals) erstellt.

Ich wünsche Ihnen eine erholsames Pfingstwochenende!

Agnes Fojcik


Enjoy the long weekend.

Sincerely,
Mario Civico and the entire Chameleon team.
