Picture Day

Our picture retake day has been scheduled for Wednesday October 3rd. Any students who did not have their picture taken on August 20th will need to  have their picture made on October 3rd, as these are the yearbook photos. Additionally, any student who purchased a picture package, but wishes to have their picture remade, will need to bring their pictures back to school and return the entire picture package to the GCI staff at the time they have their new picture taken.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Weekly Inquiry and STEM

What can we make with a marshmallow, 1 piece of paper, and 2 pieces of tape???

The students made predictions and shared with their buddy. 

They planned, designed, and tested their marshmallow launchers! 

After they tested they redesigned and tried it again to see if they could get the marshmallow to fly farther. 

Ruby Bridges

We learned so much at our in house field trip about Ruby Bridges.

Daily 5  Literacy Centers - to encourage independent inquiry, reading, and writing activities!   

Listen to Reading/ Inquiry/ Research

Everyday the students are encouraged to research something new!!!! We use www.pebblego.com to listen to information about whatever we are curious about. We record our information in our inquiry journal. 

Read to Self/ Someone 

We enjoy a few minutes to read to our self and a buddy everyday. We can choose a just right book and spend a few minutes learning to love reading!!!

 

Work on Writing - 

Big BOOKS, Mini books, Flap books, and Scrolls!!! OH MY!!!!

As part of our Units of Inquiry we are learning how to share our information by making a variety of books and writing scrolls. The children LOVE making flip books, pop up books, scrolls, and other fun ways to share their information!!!! If you are able, we would greatly appreciate any paper that you would like to donate! Thank you for encouraging our inquiring minds to share information in creative ways!  

Work on Words-

Students participate in a variety of activities to practice phonics skills and build reading fluency. 

 

Share Time

At the end of each center time, someone gets to share their work with the whole group. They call on their classmates to critique their work. They are given 3 stars (3 things that are done well) and a wish (1 thing to work on for next time).

Supply orders are almost 100% filled.  We are still waiting on a few things, but the majority of items have been delivered.  We had an unbelievable amount of participation and that coupled with all the other schools in the county ordering at the same time has slowed down our delivery.  We have also had to order from multiple vendors due to the high number of supplies we were ordering.  We so appreciate the support of the parents and the teachers in this first year of the fundraiser!  I assure you that your students are not going without and the classroom communities are working together to support every student.  #TeasleyTigers
