Zooming in on Learning


Our students have been working hard at school! They are really zooming in on details as they discover, research, read, write, play and observe. 

Thank you to the Arlington Heights Fire Department for joining us last week! You helped make sure we know how to safely evacuate the building when we hear a fire alarm. First grade students were very intrigued by all the details on the fire engine. 

We've been having such a great time reading A Nest for Celeste by Henry Cole and finding the different places around Dryden where Celeste has been hiding. These students have been researching and reading in the LMC to compare and contrast a real mouse and Celeste. 

To get in the mindset for understanding and utilizing non-fiction text features when reading, students are working with Mrs. Greazel to write about this bike using those features. 

It's always fun to practice reading new words and identifying spelling patterns through games!

In science, students are writing detailed observations comparing the characteristics of two different structures they built.
