We are happy to hear of all the festive and familial fun that happened over the past two weeks.

Meteorologist Malcolm

Super Hero Comics

This week we launched our new writing unit: 

COMICS and GRAPHIC NOVELS.  

Students are designing their Super Hero characters by drawing and writing about their character's INTERNAL and EXTERNAL traits.  

 The MATTER of Science

This week students explore density and the transformation of matter between states.

Park Playtime

Laurel Creekians play and practice their photography skills at Tuesday's Park recess.  

Geometric Builders 

Students construct triangles and quadrilaterals.  Students test the strength of shapes by squeezing them.  Hmmm... now we understand why bridges have so many triangles!

Thinking Tracks

Students learn to track and record their thinking while reading. 

2014

Second graders count by tens using bead chains to 2014, giving contexts to our new year.  Second graders shared their work with the first graders by walking them along the chain.

Reader's Theater

Laurel Creekians are learning to read with fluency and expression through this months Reader's Theater unit.  We look forward to sharing our learnings with you on January 31st.

When Our World Was Young

This month we are studying creation stories as told by many cultures and indigenous peoples.

Fabulous Friday

Creekians teach their families how they read thoughtfully by using our "thinking tracks" key.

Have a great time HANGING out this weekend!

Love,

Nancy, Cate
