This week we had our first Nature Class on insects.  Here are a few pictures of the activities, check out the photo gallery for more.

Here are some pictures of our beginning of the school year activities.  We were brainstorming expectations for our team, playing What School Supply am I, creating relaxing pictures for our take a break area, recess, and playing get to know you BINGO.  More photos can int he phot gallery.

Last week we brainstormed how we would like our classroom to feel.  Here is the list that we came up with in the end:

Welcoming

Honest

Sharing

Inclusive

Supportive

Quiet

Respectful

Fun

Clam

It sounds like a pretty nice place to spend a day!

This week, students practiced for their SBAC Tests.  Next week, students will take one test each morning Monday- Thursday.  It will be very helpful if they have headphones or earbuds in their backpacks.

This week, students have been preparing for student-led conferences.  Today, students practiced sharing their work with a peer.

Students looked at where birds spend their time on Bird Range Maps this morning.  They used the legend to locater where specific birds could be found at different times of the year.

Today our class had Nature which focused on birds of flight. Below are a few pictures from this morning.   You can also find more in the photo gallery.

Earlier this year we decorated outside the 3/4 classrooms with leaves for fall.  This was part of a Mystery Doug lesson.  Last week we decided it was time for a change, inspired by the snow.  Below are the before and after pictures.
