This week will go down in the books as the best week to date! Throughout the week, several students demonstrated wonderful collaboration and problem-solving. They were understanding of the needs of others and really made steady advances in their learning. We finished our first science unit this week on the Power of Flowers: Plant Life Cycle and Heredity. We will have out unit assessment next week. In math, we finished our first unit focusing on addition and subtraction strategies and word problems. In writing, we are continuing to develop our first seed stories, students' personal narratives. We are hoping to have a published piece within the next two weeks. Throughout all of these activities and more, students demonstrated kindness, flexibility, and generosity towards others. Together, we earned 1,041 tokens this week! With twenty-one students in our classroom, that averages out to be almost 50 tokens per child for the week! I continue to be amazed by the maturity that is beginning to develop within this group. Their potential is off the charts.
