Congratulations to Eli, Lily S., Aiden, and Eddie for earning their CHAINS OF SUCCESS last week! They worked hard!
Students enjoyed sharing their “It happened to me” stories using onomatopoeia!
We had the pleasure of having my Mom (a retired 3rd grade teacher) come in and give a challenging Math lesson on Dutch Squares!
Meet Kathy Frink! She is our Room Parent and has given me permission to give you her contact information. Please let her know if you have any questions or concerns regarding PTAO! 🙂

What LEARNING and GROWING went on in room 217 this week:
Academics
ELA: We began reading Horrible Harry and the Goog by Suzy Kline. This is story about a mischievous boy and his escaped cat exploring Southside School and literally has us laughing out loud! Our novel study is quickly becoming the most favorite part of our school day. Our reading block also focused on sorting and recognizing long o words as well as describing connections between historical events.
Writing: Students wrote “It happened to Me” narratives incorporating onomatopoeia.
Math: Numbers to 1,000 were tackled the week – students were challenged with their number sense through word problems, higher order thinking questions, and independent work revolving around larger numbers.
Science: We discussed Earth Science and Earth’s Structures. Students recognized that the Earth is made of of rocks and that rocks come in many sizes and shapes. They also described how small pieces of rock and dead plant and animal parts can be the basis of soil and explained the process by which soil is formed.
Social Studies: Students studied the world in spatial terms as well as breaking down “Me on a Map”
