Happy Earth Day!

Today we celebrated Earth Day! One of our activities included decorating grocery bags with messages about caring for our planet! Students were so excited about the thought of a shopper picking up their bag to hold groceries! What a great way to reach others and spread a positive message!

Perimeter and Area Fun!

Yesterday, we practiced finding perimeter and area of composite figures using our floor tiles for much larger models! Students really enjoyed moving from station to station to practice these math skills!

Persuasive Writing Speech Presentations!

Today we shared and celebrated our persuasive speeches! Some students preferred to share in small groups whereas others were ready to present to the whole class! We made both happen this morning and practiced both our listening and speaking skills, too! Students can't wait for you, their families, to read or hear their speech!

Our Valentine Party!

On Friday, February 12 we celebrated Valentine's Day! Students enjoyed ice-cream sundaes, a craft, and various games and activities! There was even a dance party in our classroom! Thank you to the family members and parents who hosted and volunteered to throw such a great party for us!

100th Day of School!

Earlier this month we celebrated the 100th day of school! Some of us dressed up like we're 100 years old!

We also wrote about what life might be like when we're 100! We used an app called Oldify to age ourselves to look 100, too! Actually, students were surprised that their pictures were secretly taken and then aged! 

Reading Research!

In reading, we've become researchers! We're diving deeper into informational texts and learning to synthesize information and new learning!
