Week in Review

This time of the year is always so much fun for us! You'll really start to see some MAJOR improvements in your kiddo in regards to his/her independence in learning. It is SO neat.

For example, this past week, we began learning about how to take "sloppy copy" notes while you read. This helped us find the main idea and special details about particular African American Achievers that we are researching. 

So far, we have studied Ruby Bridges:

Lebron James:

and we began learning about Rosa Parks:

. 

The kids had an opportunity to complete their own research and take notes about what they learned. From here, we turned our notes into PARAGRAPHS!

By the end of the week, they were even able to complete their own research from any text they wanted!

They are (as I affectionately tell them) CRUSHING it.

We learned some new math games...

 Had a special visitor :-P

 and got sent to the principal's office by Ms. Ray!

Ms. Ray rewarded us for being the BEST class (yes, even better than FIFTH GRADERS) she had all day long. What a special prize! :)

Have a fantastic week!

Week in Review

What a wild week! Even with only 3 days of school, we were able to do so many fun things!
On Monday, your students arrived at school only to discover that Evil Dr. Double Digit did NOT want us to make it into triple digits for school. Consequently, we had to complete a series of tasks to defeat him and let us move past the 99th day of school.



























We also completed an art project to introduce our next unit of study: African American Achievers. The students were tasked with completing a design using black and white paper. By the end, each student had the opportunity to share their project with the class. Finally, we discussed how the art would look different if it were only one color. In the same way, our world is a better place because everyone comes together to make one, beautiful world.













Have a FABULOUS week!
