How often do your children come home and give you the answers of "SCHOOL WAS FINE" or "NOTHING" when you ask them what they did today? We recognize that and now our students are informing all the parents about what they are learning by completing this section of the newsletter! Each week, different students from each class will collaborate and put together what they are excited to share about their learning. Below are our reporters for the week!
Kindergarten (Riley, Emmie, Noelia): We are learning shapes using blocks. We are learning about T, Top, T (sound). We are also skipping, jumping, tip toeing and galloping. We had music and art.
1st Grade (Amelia, Stella, Antonio): We are practicing counting using snap cubes and shapes up to 10. We chose 3 look books and 2 read books. The look books we look at the pages and pictures. The read books we read the words. We are also learning about kindness and the golden rule: Treat others the way you want to be treated. We should all be kind!
2nd Grade (Emilia, Anthony): We are learning about math, spelling, and having a growth mindset. We are also learning about kindness and friendship!
3rd Grade (Aubrey, Gavin, Jude): We are learning multiplication and we are learning about place value. We had gym, art, and music. Today we finished are diagnostics in reading and math. We also learned about 9/11.
4th Grade (Emelia, Benjamin, Adelina): In math class we are learning place value. In ELA we are learning how to write friendly letters. In reading we are learning context clues and different types of questions. We did a "Figure Me Out" project and a "Selfie" project. In History/SS we learned about 9/11.
5th Grade (Julianna, Giulia): In ELA we are reading "Wonder," and making Wonder heads with our own personality. In math we are making posters of how to have a better attitude about math. We are also going over multiplication.
Phys Ed (Samantha): In Grade 5 Phys Ed, we learned new games and activities. We played a game called triangle tag and a game called hoop jump. We added new stretches as well.
Art (Peyton): In 3rd grade art we are watching the minions version of the rules. We also are learning how we are going to do free time this year, like we have legos, and blocks. We also have a clean table. We call it that because if one person is done painting and the rest of the table is not then that one person can go there. The last thing is we are getting new markers. That is mostly all the things we are doing in Art.
Music (Adriana): In 4th grade music we are learning a new game in music that Mrs. Finnen made up over the summer. Every student gets an instrument and Mrs. Finnen plays a note and there is a poison rhythm. If she plays it and we play it, we will be out. We also have been playing our recorders and learning a new note called "c". Last year we only knew the notes "b, a, g."
Media (Natalie): The first day of Grade 5 media Mrs. Sinopoli took us on a tour of the library. Some new things in the library are couches to read in a quiet space, new 3D printers that are easier to use, and many more awesome things.
ESL (Dylan): We are learning about English and how to type hard words. Also we are working on a personal narrative were we tell histories that have happened to us, that we can't forget because something good happened or something bad happened.
