Good afternoon,
Today was the second day of swimming and our students were able to spend more time in the pool developing and building skills. We were quicker getting on and off the bus, which is great, and nothing was left behind (as far as I know).
Swimming has found its way into literacy and science. In our journals students used many sight words as they wrote about their swimming lessons. In science we talked about our five senses and started sharing the different things we saw, heard, felt, smelled, and tasted when we were swimming. Peter mentioned that the water felt "heavy", and Arinanna shared that the water tasted like salt and vinegar!
I love that the students are making connections to what we are learning and what they read in their books during Daily 5. For example, one student noticed in her book that there was skip counting. Another discovered describing words that fit with the five senses.
Thank you,
Ms. Cokar
