Busy, Busy, Busy!

We have been very busy during the past two weeks!  Here are a few examples of the learning going on in our classroom:

• The sixth graders performed Cinderella, Cinderella.  They invited us to a performance and it was wonderful!  It was a perfect introduction to our Cinderella unit.
• We have been working hard to read fluently and with expression.  We worked in groups to read and discuss Seeds of Fortune.  Ask your child about the moral of the story.
• We have had a few days of indoor recess recently which means we need a movement break in the afternoon.  We have been using a website called GoNoodle as a way to take a break and get our blood flowing.  It is really fun!
• We have been learning about multiplication and division.  We have used fact triangles to practice our facts.
• Even though our plant unit is over, we still have our class plants to observe.  Our potato plants and bulbs are growing each day!  It is exciting each morning to see the new growth.
• We were very busy making a surprise on Friday.  Everyone worked very hard on this project!
