This Week In Room102

We have finished the ELA section of MCAS and all of the students worked very hard. I was very proud of each and every one of them! We have a bit of a break before the next round of math and then science in May. So for now, it is back to the normal day in our classroom.

As you read last week, we have been studying the different traditional literature types. The students have organized and classified different book genres. This past week they took all of the information they gathered and began creating posters. Stay tuned to see the final products or better yet, stop outside our classroom to take a look and see them in person. We aren't quite done just yet though. Give us a few more days.  Once the posters are finished, the students will be working independently to create something of their own. This you will have to wait for, but it will be worth the wait! Take a look to see your children hard at work.

Nick, Harry, and Sydney all working hard on their poster drafts.

Matthew and Cooper discussing the myths and the characteristic to include in their poster.

Uma and Tori deep in discussion about a castle, a donut clock, and fairy tales!

Abby and Madi each adding a touch to the draft.

Did someone say pictures? Katie and Kate stopping for a photo shoot.

Ryan, James, and Jack all working cooperatively on a draft.

Sebbie starting the draft -Teddie had to leave for a minute!

We have also been working diligently in math learning how to accurately measure and label angles. We have also learned that the sum of all triangles is 180 degrees. Ask your child about the hands on activity that we did to prove that the sum of all triangles always equals 180 degrees. Ask them to prove it to you.

Please keep a look out for a permission slip to Concord and Lexington the week of April 9th.  We will be going with Mrs. Lantz class. And if you have not returned the permission slip for the Great Body Works movie please do soon.
