Mr. Hanson

It has been a while since my last Blog and I am so very sorry… but I have barely had a moment to sit and type. Your little learners have been keeping me very busy.

In math students have been working with estimating, reading and showing temperatures, and working with number stories.

Science has us working with the ideas behind motion (path, speed, distance, push/pulls, and collisions). The students have set up experiments and tested their hypothesis. Bill Nye the Science Guy (a video) gave us a lot of information and was very funny to watch!

The study of the earth, mapping skills, and continents are a current focus in social studies… soon enough you will see large blue globes headed your way!

I am looking forward to meeting with you when you come in for your child’s conference. As always, if you have any questions or concerns please give me a call or e-mail me – I am sure there is something we can work out.

Have a great weekend!

On Thursday 10/23  our science lesson will be a discussion about how our brains work and testing our sensory observation skills.  In order to do this, we will need an assortment of foods that will challenge the senses!   We are looking for:

Fresh herbs  (parsley, cilantro, mint, dill, anise, basil, etc.)

Other cooking ingredients  (garlic, horseradish, ginger, cloves etc.)

Unfamiliar fruits  (mango, pomegranate, star fruit, etc.)

Thank you in advance for anything you can send in with your child!

Volunteers have started make their way into D123 and we are all the better for it! Whether it was reading groups, math groups, or the craziness of lesson 7 in science the volunteers came through and everything went very well.

Speaking of volunteers, Kelly (Sage’s Mom), Alyson (Nate’s Mom), and Cheryl (Christine’s Mom) accompanied us on our field trip to the Police and Fire Station. Sage’s Mom really impressed the students as she fired the water hose and almost blew a chair and bucket into on coming traffic! J

Next week we do not have school on Monday and Wednesday is a half day.

Logan will be Student of the Week starting Tuesday.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the nice weather with your family.

Warmly, Sean

 Science Supply Wish List!

Each month we will be sending home a flyer to let you know some of the items that we will need for our science program.  If you have these things available, we would love to have you send them in for the kids to use!
