Geometry

Team Treasure students have been learning about Geometry!  Our essential questions are...1.  How can shapes be sorted?  2.  What makes shapes different from eachother?  3.  How can we group certain shapes together?  Why do they belong together?  4.  How can shapes be described?  

Today we used yarn to create various shapes and discussed how shapes are different from eachother. At home, see if you can find various shapes with your child and discuss their names.  Some of the shapes we have learned about are triangle, square, rectangel (quarilaterals - four sides shapes), pentagon, hexagon, and circle.  

 

Community Meeting Readers

High Five to all of our Community Meeting Readers.  Every Thursday a new member of Team Treasure reads their favorite book to the class.  We then discuss if the book is fiction or non-fiction.  We have been learning about informational books this quarter and have been looking for non-fiction features including; an index, heading, sub-headings, labels, captions, a table of context, an index and glossary.  See if you can find these non-fiction features with your child when reading non-fiction texts!  

Caleb's Favorite Book

Caleb did a fantastic job reading his favorite book to the class.  Way to go Caleb!  We can't get enough of Fly Guy!

Team Treasure Harvest Dance

Many students attended Fridays Harvest Dance.  Students enjoyed pumpkin bowling,  pumpkin decorating and danced with their friends.   Can you guess who is who?

Learning About Nutrition

We had a fun and exciting day today in the Team Treasure rooms.  We had a special visit from Yavelo's mom (Ms. Cordova and the nurses group from MATC).  We learned about the various food groups, learned about the vitamins in certain foods, talked about the importance of drinking water and had some healthy snacks too.  Thanks Ms. Cordova and the nurses from MATC!  We really enjoyed your visit! 

Grace Presents to the School Board

Grace represented Wilson School and Team Treasure last night at the School Board meeting.  She shared how learning can be fun and how we include "Play With Purpose" at our school.  She led half of the school board in playing "Back Seat Driver" against her brother and the other half of the school board.  I am very proud of Grace!  She did a fantastic job representing Wilson School!  Way to go Grace!  

Community Meeting Readers

Calvin, Grace, Ceci and Christian M. were the first four students to read their favorite books to the class.  Every Thursday selected students can pick a favorite book to share and read aloud.  They all did a fabulous job reading their books.  I could tell they really practiced hard!  Great job Team Treasure Students!  We can't wait to hear more stories!  

Keep Reading!!!

Just a reminder to continue filling out your Scholastic Book Fair Reading Challenge sheet.  We would love for Team Treasure to win the contest and be kings and queens for the day.  Also, our first book report is due this Friday, October 3rd.  Please let us know if you have any questions about the book report.  If you already turned in your book report last week at parent information night you are all set for this week! 

Thanks,

Ms. Azzolina

PLEASE HELP!!!

We highly encourage parents to purchase headphones for your child.  We use our iPads daily and would greatly appreciate each child having their own pair of headphones for health reasons.  Please let us know if you have any questions. 

 

Thank you!

Hi!  I'm Mrs. Kargus!  This is my ninth year at Wilson Elementary, and my eighth year as a full time teacher!  I have taught first, second and third grades, and am happy to be back in first and second grade this year!  I have a bachelor’s degree from UW-Parkside and a Master’s degree in reading from Concordia University.  I am married with a three year old daughter and baby number two, a boy, on the way!  I love teaching and can't wait to make a difference in your child's life.  I hope it's as much as the difference they make in my life, each and every day!  I look forward to a great year with you and your child!
