Enrichment October 17 and 19

I received glowing reports from the sub about both enrichment classes. Huge praises for being so respectful and loving! The 2nd and 3rd graders received their class pets today- two guinea pigs named Abby and Mady. I'm listening as they stand around the cage singing "Peace Like a River" to their new friends. Pretty cute! It was difficult to focus after the new classmates arrived but we managed to do some logic problems this morning, work on challenge math and our stories, investigate some science, and research our guinea pig origins. In 4th and 5th grade this week, we will be diving into our Odyssey of the Mind project for those students who are interested. You will receive a permission slip and explanation. There will be an alternate project for those students who are not interested. We will also be working on logic problems, analogies, STEM, and writing.

Each student will keep track of the authors’ names of the books they read on the attached sheet.  Two separate book lists are included for lower and upper elementary. These lists are not meant to be exhaustive. There are more wonderful authors out there that are not listed. I will be pulling many books each week to give them ideas of what authors and books to read. I encourage students to read books at their reading level but they are welcome to add lower books as well. Here are some guidelines of incorporating picture/chapter books. K-1st: do as many picture books or c...
