The End

And then there were none!  

The last day is over and the cleanup is done.  This does not look like our classroom anymore.  

Gone is all the great student work, the books, the laughter, and the stations where we accomplished so much.  I hope the love of literature, the joy of math, and the value of our PYP profile follow you wherever you may go.    Keep reading, keep telling stories, keep figuring out how to put numbers together and keep performing random acts of kindness. 

You are all SUPERHEROES!

Love, Ms. Musters

Let It Go

Okay, I couldn't resist....  Here is a snippet of Let It Go in case anyone forgets!!

Performances

Now, comes the fun part.  I love how the students decided on their own performances.  I was sure that we would have someone singing, "Let It Go!"

In the end...

it's hard to say good-bye!

Advice based on World On A String.

Art A La Carte

Today we got a big surprise when Mr. Johnson showed up for Art ala Carte!  There was a book, balloons and treats.  Mr. Johnson read World On A String, a story about friendships.  It was the perfect compliment to the Memories in My Pocket Project.  The Superheroes were mesmerized and we had a great discussion of what it means to be a friend.  As you can guess... the story had something to do with a balloon! 

 A huge THANK YOU to Mr. Johnson for all the special Art a la Carte projects for this year!

Memories in My Pocket

Our project is in full swing!  The posters are down and the pockets are ready.  If you come by the room you will find yourself surrounded by Superheroes!!  It looks fantastic.  The above picture is a sample of all the amazing experiences we have had together this year.  Field trips, crocodiles, dance parties, field day, experiments, Rice University and the infamous retelling tepee!  I hope you are enjoying reading all the memories that are stuffed in the pockets.  I know I will treasure mine. 

Mapping

The Superheroes are hard at work even during these last few weeks!  This week we are researching a state to determine the land forms that can be found there.  In the process, we are discovering what natural resources the state may have.   After researching, the students created a map detailing this information.  Also, included where a map key and a compass.   We had fun researching the different states and sharing the information with our class.
