Write to Learn

We are a trial school for a new program called  Write to Learn. The students in my class will be able to use it the week of 1/21-1/24.  I am very excited that the county might purchase this program to help with writing. The website they will use for the program is below:

Fantasy Genre Projects

We will be working on the fantasy genre over the next 9-weeks.  This genre  started on Monday 11/10, and will continue until 1/07. I am posting three project choices for them to pick.  Every student needs to read two fantasy books and one non-fiction book.  Please ask you child to tell you what their goal for this period is.

Science and Social Studies Rotation Days

The students had a fantastic  time last week with the social studies and science rotation days.  They worked with webquests, did experiments, wrote journal entries, drew their bodies and located organs,  explored cells with microscopes, orally read reader's theatres, and much more.

A great big thanks to the parents who were able to help with the days.  We will have the rotation days at the end of every 9-weeks.
