REMINDER: NO SCHOOL SUNDAY
We had a very busy week at AISD. Two special visitors were present at the school all week leading workshops on poetry. Poets Sara Holbrook and Michael Salinger were selected as this year's guest authors and we were fortunate to attend a short assembly with them both, as well as a special kindergarten session with just Mr. Salinger. He taught us how to write our own refrain poems, which we are excited to try! They fit in perfectly with our current writing unit on pattern books.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday AISD hosted this year's SAISA boys basketball tournament. Unfortunately our own Tigers lost in the championship game by just one point, but it was an exciting game to watch. I hope you had the opportunity to enjoy it!
Because teams travel far to attend the tournament, they do not have many fans present. Therefore, elementary classes 'adopt' teams to support. KG-M adopted the TAISM Eagles from Muscat, Oman. We participated in the opening ceremonies and then went to support the Eagles as they played. We were excited when they came to visit our classroom as well, and they even brought us a t-shirt to hang in our class which was signed by all the players.
We also were excited to continue our new Unit of Inquiry on matter this past week. We have been experimenting with solids, liquids and gases and spent one morning looking closely at just liquids. We observed as scientists and noticed some exciting things, such as how the same amount of liquid in one container can look very different in another. We will continue to explore and experiment to learn now different states of matter behave differently.
