Update 5-4
Many exciting things have happened in Language Arts since the last post. Kids have been reading lots of books and writing about them. Also, we took our AIR state test and the kids did fabulous work!
We integrated Social Studies into Language Arts by learning about explorers and the lasting effect of Europeans. All kids should have brought home an explorer project that we completed in class. They were awesome! Our most recent project was a collaborative one to learn what came from different European countries to America. See the pictures below. These are interactive and the kids loved designing and creating them.
Kids then wrote speeches to convince others that their county was the most influential. Ask you child which group they were in.
Using the speeches, we had battles and below are the winners from each class: Italy, England, & Germany!

update 4-9
We are working hard in class on Arbor Day projects this week. Each child will be writing a story and making a poster relating to this. All Arbor Day projects are due by this Friday, April 13. Please check in with your child about his/her coloring supplies as some students do not have any.
Our last ELA AIR test is tomorrow! The kids did a great job on Friday reading carefully and writing. Today, all classes had the opportunity to work with third graders in Ms. Sauto and Mrs. Leone's classes to teach and coach them about reading or writing. Everyone did a great job and the third graders loved having us there with them. Enjoy the pictures below!
