Then the kids go to music.

Period 4 the 4's go to French, the Grade 3's will be dissecting a Lima Bean.

Go Raptors Go!

June 6th

Here is what today has and should look like.

Period 1 - Health with Mrs. Coric.
Period 2 - Reader's/Writer's workshop -we tried to finish up our learning skills reflections (and our letters to our future teacher's).

Period 3 - The grade 4's went to French.  The Grade 3's did a little investigation about the functions of stems and leaves.  But, we were interrupted by the cool planes that flew overhead...so of course we had to go outside and watch them.
Period 4 - Mrs. Fabbri came in while the 4's worked on researching for their ancient civilization projects and the 3's went on google classroom to explore these plant websites:

Period 5-we'll read a little bit of The Homework Machine and watch chapter 4 of Read All About It, then answer the 4 comprehension questions I've put up about today's episode.
Period 6 -The Grade 3's are going to dissect some Lima Beans, and the 4's are going to continue to finish DRA/Research.

June 5th

Here is what I am hoping today looks like:

Period 1 we'll do reader's workshop.  I'm working to finish all my end of the year reading assessments (Grade 4's DRA, Grade 3's PM Benchmarks).

Period 2 is writer's workshop.  We're going to be looking at a learning skills reflection sheet...and writing letters to our next year's teachers.

Period 3 the 4's are going to French.  The 3's will watch the correct Magic School bus about plants (I showed them the wrong one on Monday).

Period 4 we'll watch Chapter 3 of Read All About It...but first we'll talk about the quality of answer's we've been producing (or lack thereof).

Period 5 we have the gym...I saw that the Drum Fit kit is still in the gym...we'll try and squeak out one more session with the Kit.

Period 6 is Music with Mrs. Haynes.

NOTE:  I'm still missing 9 permission forms for the RBG trip (June 21) and 6 for the Lasalle Park trip (June 26th).  Please bring those in ASAP if you haven't already!

June 4th

Here is what we did today.

Period 1 we made Lylah belated birthday cards.  Then we had Mrs. Burns in for another 'emotional wellness' lesson.

Period 2 was reader's workshop.

Period 3 we did a little work out in the garden.  Our onions have started to sprout, and we planted our watermelons (thanks to the Whiteheads).

Period 4 we played SKUNK and then tried to learn Farkle.  It's a fun one to play at home too:

Period 5 we watched episode 2 of Read All About It and answered some comprehension questions.

Period 6 we got to see Terra Lightfoot perform...she was awesome!

June 3rd!

June...already??

I can't believe how fast this year has gone.  4 more weeks of school.

Here is what today should look like:

Period 1 - we did a 'Frindle' quiz for red light...then we took it up.  Then the class went to Music with Mrs. Haynes.
Period 2 -we have art..but sadly, no Mrs. Perks today.  We're going to watch this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INscMGmhmX4
Then attempt to draw our very own 'grumpy cat'.

Period 3 we going to share the results from our Paper, Rock, Scissors tournament from last week.  Then we're going to play a risky dice game called SKUNK. If there's time we might dive into creating our own 'carnival games'.

Period 4 The 4's have French and the 3's are going to continue to work on the parts of a plant.

Periods 5 & 6 we'll do weekend round up and then reader's/writer's workshop. If all goes well, I'm hoping to show them at the end of the day a TV show from my childhood, that I adored, Read All About It (it's always a big hit).
