Being the TEACHER...

Just wanted to share some pictures of other students learning from our hard work. Teaching others is a great way to learn deeper yourself!

Holiday Museum...A WONDERLAND of exhibits!

Today we finally got to show off our hard work to the other classes. This week, we all researched about Christmas and then worked in groups to make an exhibit to share our knowledge complete with a caption to explain their creations. I am so proud of their ingenuity and creative spirit. Our class then went to the other museums to learn about other holidays! It was a great way to let the kids be the teachers!

be sure to ask your student what they created and learned in the other rooms!

no SNOW... but still WINTER fun!

Well Frosty did not answer our request for snow, but we sure had a great day! We started the day with a special delivery from the mail. Ms. Snyder read a letter from Frosty. We cut snowflakes and wrote about why we are special. We followed it up with building snow castles, and making snow to play in! The day ended with a special viewing of Frosty the Snowman on the big screen!

We are POETS and KNOW it!

Sensory Poems are coming to life in room 6! Students started learning to use a very patterned type of writing and then moved into free form! I love to see them bring there subject to life using adjectives and prepositions... be sure to ask about what they wrote about. Check out these samples of students sharing their work so proudly!

Getting the BRAIN going!

Did you know that exercise and movement is the best way to get the brain moving! We started out time before a big math test with a little twisting and shouting! Thanks John for leading the group.

Land Form Charades!

The kids had a blast working with partners to act out their land form or body of water! It was great to connect learning with movement, creativity and cooperation! I can't wait to see them build their own land form today!
