Story Tellers

Summer Fun

We continue to build our community through getting to know you activities. The students first created a pattern around the perimeter of the plate. Next, they sketched a picture (a mental image) that could be used to tell a story about an event that happened during the summer. Last, they explored the medium of watercolors by painting the image. The results are hanging in the hallway. The project continued with an oral storytelling time where the students sat together and shared using the picture plate as an object to help remember the story. The last part of the project will be the written stories(which I am typing upon request).

The First Test!!

Yes, it's true after only one week we had tests!! One of the tests this week was an open book test where the students had the option of working together to discuss the answers. They did a great job. I loved walking around the room listening to them talking about the book and deciding together on an answer.
Friday is the big test day. We normally have a reading test, spelling, states, math and grammar test. Your students should be well prepared if they have been in class and have completed their homework every night. I told the students they should review this work with their parents when it comes home in the Tuesday folders. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
