Reading Clubs in Room 204! on PhotoPeach
We have just begun our reading clubs. The students are excited to be working in groups and they love reading! The students are using their sticky notes to jot thoughts for discussions with their club mates. As they were reading today the students were looking for how a character might feel.We can do big thinking, jotting what is different about characters and surprising moments. Looking forward to the student's discoveries!

PRACTICE Emergency Evacuation!!

On Monday, November 17, 2014 at 10:00 our school will be participating in a drill to practice evacuating the school to our designated off site safe area.  Our evacuation site is Chets Creek Church and students will walk from the school to their building, be seated in designated areas for a short period of time and then walk back to the school.  The drill should take no longer than one hour from start to finish.  During this time we will not be able to check students in or out and there will be no one at the school to answer the phone.  Please make arrangements accordingly.  Thank you for supporting us as we work to insure that your children are safe.

Writing Like Scientist Do!

Can you write like a Scientist? In our classroom our students are learning to write about science during our Writing Workshop.

Did you know that Scientist study the world around them, pose questions and hypotheses, conduct experiments, and write about their results in lab reports.

Oh yeah! That is exactly what our second graders are doing! So exciting! The question everyone wants to answer; will this toy race car go farther off the ramp on carpet or on the bare floor?

The students were totally engaged creating their hypothesis, (a guess), recording the procedures, conducting multiple trials, and recording their results. We also analyzed our results, and wrote a conclusion. Look forward to more experiments and writing a lab report! Yes, we can write like a scientist!

It was a busy week; in Science we are finishing our unit on Matter, we made ice cream.  Ask your student about the yummy ice cream we made in class. We decorated our literary pumpkin; we were also invited to two Publishing Celebrations. So nice, we were invited to Mrs. Zollinger and Miss Hoffman’s 3^rd grade class and Mrs. Meissner and Mrs. Boushie’s Kindergarten class. Great work students!
