Changing of the quarter


This past quarter I have really enjoyed working with your child.  I will see them again for 3 week during 4th quarter. I have included below a description of the other two E/I classes. 

Ask your child about the storied and chapter books we created and read. Ask them about their vocab and the games we played to practice those words. Thank you so much for your support. Gracias!


Writers Workshop: Ann Perrin
The Enrichment team has an exciting addition to its 2013/2014 curriculum: Writer’s Workshop.  The Writer’s Workshop will offer a creative, enticing and integrative writing experience to the Enrichment block.  Your children will be amazed by how effortless and entertaining it is to express themselves through writing.  Their writing process will include high-interest level experiential and hands-on activities integrating grade level science themes.  We will coordinate with community experts on a greenhouse project, build a model of the solar system and travel back in time to prehistoric eras via realistic fiction stories, just to name a few. I am thrilled about the new journey your students and I are about to embark on through their own creative genius!  I am a Writer at heart and have been a classroom teacher and ELL teacher in the RFSD for 12 years.  My current adventure in academia is STEM (Science,Technology,Engineering,Math) certification, an up and coming teaching model, which involves integrating multiple subjects in Science themed units. I love new adventures and can’t wait to get started!

Science: Stephanie Dungan
Hello,
My name is Stephanie Dungan and this is my second year teaching science at Sopris Elementary. This year in science we will be focusing on using science notebooks. Students will be doing hands on experiments and investigations then recording their learning using the scientific method. The steps we will use are aligned to the notebooks and are 1.) Question 2.) Hypothesis 3.) Plan
4.) Experiment 5.) Observations & Data 6.) Conclusion. I look forward to working with many students and expanding science learning. This is going to be a great year in science.
