March Reading Camp

March Reading Camp

The month of March is moving quickly for us!  We are a mere 9 days away from Spring Break!

In March, Mrs. Fay received a grant that will allow us to get a class set of ball chairs!  We are thrilled and cannot wait for them to come in!  

The 4th graders earned a reading camp out!  We covered the windows and brought in flashlights, blankets, pillows, and books to read for the majority of the day.  Students loved being able to relax and read to meet their AR goals!

February came and went!  Although we had an extra winter break with the snow days, we worked hard to meet our smart goals.  We began using ClassFlow which is an awesome Promethean program that allows Mrs. Fay to send information to our computers/ipads and we can send information back to her!  We love it and ask for it daily!

January

Well, January flew by!

In fourth grade, we learned about fables.  We even created our own fables with very interesting morals!  We were introduced to mythology with a trip to the star lab.  Thanks Mr. Chapman for sharing your knowledge!

In fifth grade, we discovered biographies.  We chose inspirational people to learn about and will be presenting on these people this week!  I am sure there will be some very creative presentations.  The presentations will be videoed and linked to our books via Aurasma.

Below are some pictures from the month!  Don't forget that our Valentine's Day party is coming up next week.  Please send in $2-4 for the supplies.
