Recent Happenings

Hi Everyone,

This week was a great one in Room 12.  During our ELA block we launched our new vocabulary and grammar programs and played an interactive grammar game on our Touch It Board. We also used our Daybooks to study setting and character in fiction.  We learned what "active readers" do and practiced being active readers by marking up text, making predictions and asking questions about what we are reading. In math we are studying place value and have worked with both whole numbers and decimals. In science Ms. Pavlicek guided the children through a science experience called "What's In Your Backyard."  The children studied various objects that had been found in Ms. Pavlicek's backyard and had to identify what they were and how they got there.  Today we wrote reflections on this science activity in our Interactive Science Notebooks.  The children brought home book order slips.  If you are interested in purchasing books from the book club please send the form in by Monday, September 23.  Thank you and have a great weekend.
