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.

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.
