African Drummers

Thank you to the PTO for sponsoring the African Drummers today.  The presentation was lively, engaging, and inclusive.  Many of our students, as well as, their teachers were able to join in on the fun.

Immigration Suitcases

The students have done a phenomenal job presenting their projects to their classmates.  The children have been so excited representing their heritage.  We have quite an eclectic group.

Field Trip to Lowell

Science In Action

Please ask your child to help you identify three darkling beetles in various stages of development.  They should be able to show you a mealworm larvae, mealworm pupa and a darkling beetle in the photo below.

Extreme Weather

We wrapped up our non-fiction extreme weather unit this week.  Students worked collaboratively to take notes on different subtopics, and report their findings on weather posters.  Students were encouraged to use their knowledge of text features and display several examples on each poster.  Features included maps, captions, headings and illustrations.

Fascinating Non-Fiction

The students are thoroughly enjoying our current unit on non-fiction.  We have created two spaces in the room for students to share their knowledge with others.  One is an Innovative Word Wall on which students can create graphic representations of content specific vocabulary.  Another fun feature is our Did You Know.... wall.  Students love sharing out interesting and unusual facts with their classmates.
