PICS FROM WEEK ENDING 3-16-18

We were busy on our Early Release Day...

we made leprechaun traps!

 Our final products!

We shared our traps with our school friends.

The kids did a great job answering questions and

explaining how their traps work.

They always amaze me with their engineering skills!

Check out the balcony and the supports that hold up the gate.

Love the window and car!

  

Measuring in yards...

It was 53 yards from our room to the bus door!

We wrote notes to make sure the leprechauns knew

VCS was going to celebrate St. Patrick's Day a day early.

The leprechauns listened but...

we didn't catch any!

They set off our traps and...

left us some great surprises!

They gave us an inside rainbow to enjoy!

We made edible rainbows...yum!

We solved riddles, played math games, read stories and did 

MadLibs as we listened to Irish music this afternoon.

We had short but busy week.

Happy Weekend!

Think Spring...I'm done with this snow!

PICS FROM WEEK ENDING 3-16-18

 We started Gymnastics and Swim Lessons

at the Old Town YMCA! We will go for

six Tuesdays...so much fun!!

 

We celebrated Dr. Seuss week with dress up days.

Wednesday was Wacky Wednesday!

When we get work finished...

we get extra STEM time!

Ms. Pelletier worked with five of our friends on a readers' theatre...

The best thing about a SNOW DAY is the day after...

LOTS of sticky snow to play in!

 

HAPPY WEEKEND!

GRADES 1-2 NEWS

Hi! Let’s hope yesterday was our last snow day! We have had a fun
week dressing up in honor of Dr. Seuss. We have also been learning
more about maps. We will continue with this next week and add in some
leprechaun fun. We welcome Ms. Pelletier to our room. She will be student
teaching with us for the next six weeks. We also have Mr. Jason finishing up
his second one hundred hour study with us on Mondays, Tuesdays and
Wednesdays. It’s great to have so many adults in the room so we can break
into small groups and get lots done!

READING AND LANGUAGE ARTS

Ms. Pelletier worked with a group to put on The Cat in the Hat Readers’ Theater
for the Primary Wing. The kids did a great job reading with fluency and expression.
We are taking advantage of her theater background and having her work with a
different group each week on reading with expression. We worked are working
with contractions and ‘s to show possession in Language Arts. We also got letters
from our California pen pals so we will be writing back to them next week!

MATH

It’s amazing how quickly the kids are working through the leveled math sheets in
the morning. Many have started multiplication. We have practiced figuring out how
to find the answers. However, it will take lots of practice to get these to be automatic.
Any practice at home would help a lot!
