Weekly Newsletter 11.22.13

This week KIS ACHIEVE continued to work on their Thanksgiving theme unit. We read Mash the Potatoes (Reading A-Z, Level C) and Maria’s Thanksgiving (Reading A-Z, Level H). The students completed a sequence on how to make mash potatoes. We incorporated our counting by 5's lesson by making our own classroom anchor chart. We all traced our hands and designed our turkeys. Thanksgiving is such a fun time to create themed activities for math!

This was an unusual week with back to back field trips Wednesday-Friday. Wednesday, we attended Playhouse Square with the 5th graders from Mrs. Austen and Mrs. Johnston's class. We learned Improv and how to act and dance using scripts and choreography from Wicked.

Thursday, Geauga ACHIEVE students, teachers and staff were fortunate enough to be treated to a movie day by an anonymous family. We saw Free Birds and everyone was given a snack of popcorn, lemonade, and Skittles. The kids enjoyed the movie so much. Friday, we went swimming with Ms. Katelyn and our Timmons friends. We ate lunch at the Y and was able to let some energy out.
