Mrs. Filardi's class are pros at using the Chromebooks. They gave us a second lesson on how to log in and use them this week. With a friend, they went to Brain Pop Jr and "read" some biographies together. THANK YOU to our teammates!
We finished our Ally/Upstander Shields and You Skills News Articles this week. If you happen to be at school, they are being displayed on the bulletin outside our classroom-take a look.
Our two classes work SO well together!!
In music the students are making musical notes out of craft sticks. In Spanish they created stories and used Spanish words to tell them to the class.
Math Problem Solving-this week each child wrote a story for us to solve. Children spent two days solving each others stories. They are persevering and using a variety of efficient and effective math strategies!
We wrapped up our science unit by learning about where water is found, the three states that water can take and erosion.
Our Biography unit is in full swing!
Students are choosing books and taking notes about what they learn.
Now that our science unit has wrapped up, we will delve into poetry and return to Writing Workshop!
Today we talked about what poetry is and the students wrote a poem using what they already know about poetry. As the children shared their poems, I was brought to tears-sometimes by laughter, othertimes by how powerful their poems were. With no pre-teaching whatsoever, one student sang their poem about taking care of the earth. Unfortunately, it was written too lightly to show up on a photograph. I cannot wait to see what they create after being given more guidance!!
Here is a snippet of what they wrote today.
Until next week..have a nice weekend!
