Please remember to send in $1 for the composition journal or to get one this weekend. We will be starting the Family Home Journal on Thursday next week. We are so excited to start communicating to you all the fantastic things we are doing already!
We have learned about "schema" this week. I hope the children can come home and share with you what this word is and what it means to us. If they can tell you, please post their comment here on the blog to recieve a horseshoe on Monday. I can't wait to hear their wonderful ideas!
Next week we will be MAP testing all week from 12:15-1:15. Just a heads up in case you were planning to come in and volunteer. I will have the volunteer schedule ready to begin on Tuesday after Labor Day. I look forward to all the wonderful volunteers we have already.
I hope you are enjoying the poetry binder that comes home on Fridays. This week we added Ms. Salas' Cancionero poem to the binder. Remember to read each poem 3 times and have at least 3 signatures/comments on the picture page. I hope you enjoy them this weekend! They sure created some fun titles and creative illustrations!

Anita tells me it's a schema folder and you remember stuff from Summer and it makes a schema folder in your head and if you want to share it you can put it down on paper and read it.
ReplyDeleteSchema-"It is something in your brain that you use to store things".
ReplyDeletehope I am doing this right....
ReplyDeleteC22 says a schema is a "folder in your mind"
Aidan said schema is a set of folders in your brain that are filled with memories.
ReplyDeleteSchema is a folder in your brain that you could use. For example, you could have a schema folder for golfing, chameleons, and lots of other stuff.

ReplyDeleteAnnabella said the word "schema" means brain, and in the classroom it's your folders and brain.
ReplyDeleteNathan Z. said schema, "Meant to pull things from my memory". :0)

Bobby and I spoke about "schema" today in the car and he described it has having a plan with thoughts to learn something. He described it as having little folders in your brain to organize these thoughts, which I thought was great!! His knowledge was more literal in terms of putting in an example than behavorial thoughts. Great Word!

Thank you so much for all of your fantastic "schema" comments! I love hearing the variety of ways the children explained it. They are all correct! Tomorrow each one will recieve a horseshoe.
