Catching up with the Earth Keepers

Everyone loves money and we are no exception! In math class, we have worked on learning the value of coins and adding various amounts together. We have practiced adding tax to our purchases, and we are beginning to learn how to make change.

During Literacy, we witnessed the challenges, thrills and excitement of the Olympics! Each student researched a sport and taught the class using his/her own uniquely designed poster. Please come and view these outstanding projects - they are gold medal worthy!

Recently, we have focused on word study under the direction of our Hollins intern, Holt. We have talked about alliteration, parts of speech, and rhyme scheme, and today we began composing and illustrating our own poetry “‘big” book. We even have a “poetree” bulletin board displaying our ideas.

Every Thursday we partner with our friends from Kim’s class as well as Ruth Ann’s class. With Kim’s students, we designed our very own luge during a math Olympic measurement unit. During little buddy time, we have used our reading skills to share favorite books.

In drama we’ve been practicing our play, “Jack’s Magic”. We hope you’ll be able to attend our performance on Monday, March 22 at 1:30 p.m. in the drama room.


Reminders: (1) Scholastic book orders are due Thursday, March 18.(2) March is the last month for the Pizza Hut “Book-It” program for this year – don’t forget to turn in your completed calendar at the end of the month. Happy Reading!
