What's Been Happening-Week of Oct. 19, 2015

We have been busy learning together at school. Here are just a few thing that have been happening.

Movement Break for Ms. Tibbitts' class before social studies. 

Ms. Tibbitts' students get some practice with using an atlas. 

Our current read aloud: Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt-part of the Global Read Aloud

The author reads the first chapter to us (on video).

We Skyped with a class in Illinois.

There is LOTS of reading going on...

...and talking about books!

See how they've grown....grass?!

Check out these adorable projects. The kids planted these on the second day of school. Thanks to Mrs. Arsenault, Mrs. Krouse, and Mrs. Douglass for helping to put these together. 

Comfy Reading Spaces

Thanks to generous donations, we have 8 comfy bean bags where we can sit and read or write. 

I would like to thank the parents and teachers that donated for helping create lots of spaces to learn at school. 

Students Work to Find Locations Using Coordinates

Figure Me Out

Students had to create math equations to show their age, house number, etc. In pairs, they solved their partner's equations. What a fun way to get to know each other.

Off to a great start!

Planning a Day at Disney

Ms. Tibbitts' class plans a day at Disney World using a map of the Magic Kingdom in social studies. 

A Poetic Visitor

Mrs. Flynn came in on the last in April to help us read and write poetry using figurative language.
