Just a reminder that the AR End of the Year party will be held on Tuesday, May 19th. We have such a big group of kids this year, that the party will be split. First and second grade's party will begin at 8:30 am, and third-fifth grade will be held at 1:00. Keep reading! The cutoff for getting your points is Friday, May 15th.
International Night is coming to Ison Springs on Thursday, May 14th. Come out to learn about the many different cultures we have at Ison Springs. In honor of this night, we have been conducting research about the countries our classes are studying. Ms. Ball's class went on a scavenger hunt around Africa using Google Earth to locate places of interest like the Pyramids of Giza and Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Next week in Mrs. Olson's class, we'll be practicing writing our names in hieroglyphics.
Kindergarten has been working hard with researching fish. We have been using nonfiction texts to gather information. With our facts, we have started making our own nonfiction book. Each child has been doing the project, and it's been working very well. Below is one example from Ms. Zarate's class. Next week, we should put the finishing touches on the books!
