The Fabulous Firsts of Room 5 were very fortunate this week! We welcomed two very special visitors to wrap up our unit of study on Community Members and How Can We Make a Difference In Our Community?.
We welcomed Firefighter Hernandez, Alexis H.'s dad who shared all about fire safety in our homes and school. He also shared all about the hard work and perseverance, a word we like to use a lot in Room 5, that is involved in becoming a firefighter. We learned about what it means to be a part of the Firehouse Community, including chores and responsibilities. We are so thankful to him for sharing his time off with our class! The students were very lucky to hear first hand all about the important work of our firefighter community members.
This past week, we also welcomed Mr. Watnick, Rowan's grandpa, a retired teacher. He touched our hearts with his gift of music and humor. All of the students were singing along, and some even played along with the instruments he brought to share. His passion for students and sharing the gift of learning through music was inspiring.
We are so thankful to both families for sharing their gifts of service.
If there are more families that would like to visit the class and share about your careers, or if you have a special talent you would like to share with our class, we would love to have you!!
This week we will be starting our new Language Arts Unit, Plants and Animals Grow and Change. We will be focusing on non-fiction over these next three weeks.
Thank you all for all of your continued support at home, especially for taking the time to review the homework and support with reading at home!
The Scholars of Room 5 are very lucky to have you!!
