What an amazing group of super seagulls! Our class will be utilizing the Responsive Classroom approach. The approach teaches children to be independent learners and more considerate people. Social skills such as cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy, and self-control are taught directly and indirectly through morning meetings. Teaching social and emotional skills is JUST as important as teaching academic content. We are focusing on cultivating a community in which students are invested in each other's successes and struggles and not just their own and I am honored to be their guide.

What's Going On In C-17?
Goodbye January! We have officially entered the third marking period. As with the second grading period, the third is jam packed with many new learning targets in math and science. Please be sure to review weekly papers and assessments. I have added our objectives to this web page for reference. Thank you for taking extra time to review these with your child.
Continued thanks to Mrs. Vanoverberghe and Mrs. Lillard for your dedication to our students. I appreciate you coming in each week to assist with math groups. It takes a village and I am grateful you are part of ours.
Mrs. Wilson is organizing a Valentine activity on Friday, Feb. 14th. We will be exchanging Valentine's on this day. I sent home a class list with your child.
​
Please continue to encourage your child to do the following each week:
​
​
*practice multiplication and division facts-
*practice 2 by 2 multiplication
*review weekly papers/tests

For the love of SCIENCE
Our class recently conducted an experiment to see what color meal worms preferred.
Students recorded their hypothesis, identified variables, made observations, collected data, and recorded their results. Most were attracted to red with yellow coming in second. Other color choices included green and blue.
Making Observations and Asking Questions- What's the difference between a demonstration and an experiment? What FUN we had with Mrs. Reidelbach-
Fraction Strips!
