Lead
21 – Literacy: Outdoor Explorers
Unit theme “What can I learn when I explore the outdoors?” This week we focused on the question, “How
can we take care of nature?”
Writing: We read the book When Sophie Gets Angry –
Really, Really Angry by Molly Bang.
The students had the opportunity to write about and share a time when they were angry.
Math: This week the children were able to use a magnifying
glass to examine pennies and nickels. They
also discovered that counting nickels was easy, just count by 5’s.
Social
Studies: To help us learned about President’s Day we read the
book Just Like Abraham Lincoln by Bernard Waber.
The children discussed what they want to be when they grew
up.
Science: We started exploring wind by making whirly choppers. The fifth graders will be our partners working
on the STEM KidWind project . They will be our partners while we strive to
learn about wind energy and build wind turbine blades over the next couple of
weeks.
School
Spirit: The children created they own
“Crestwood Cadet “ people to promote sportsmanship and show their support for
all activities at Crestwood. Their Cadet
people line the elementary hallway using mega phones to shout supportive words
to all.
