Thank you to Lily’s dad, Mr. Dan for teaching us about records and letting us listen some RAD music! We enjoyed your books – Sylvster and the Magic Pebble, Olive and the embarrassing gift, and a story from Frederick’s Fables. 🙂
We enjoyed a holiday concert today from RB Hunt Strings and Chorus! Great show!
What LEARNING and GROWING went on in room 217 this week:
Academics
ELA: Students read and discussed Winter according to Humphrey by Betty Birney. We also studied repetition and alliteration in stories and the effect this kind of writing had on readers. Suffixes were addressed again and the effect they have a base words. For example, -or and -ist mean “a person who”, -er mean more and -est mean most.
Writing: Continued work with non-fiction writing
Math: triple digit addition with re-grouping
Social Studies:
Students of the week:
