Rock Observations, Watchdogs, Book Nook, and MORE!

We had an exciting week last week!! We are still studying the Earth's Crust in Science and we continued our observations. This week we were observing rocks. We looked at our rocks size, shape, texture, and luster. There were many interesting rocks and we found out that rocks are all unique and different. We also had our first watchdog this week! Southeast began a program called Watchdogs. It is a dad that comes and volunteers for an entire day at Southeast!! They help kids in the classrooms, eat lunch in the cafeteria, and even go out to recess. We had a watchdog come and practice money with some kids and read with another student. It was great, any dads that want to volunteer please email me and I can get you signed up, the students LOVED having him there. We have also been really practicing our independent reading skills. Our class is up to reading 35 straight minutes by ourselves. We are working hard to get to 45 by the end of the school year! It was an exciting week.
