4th Grade Readers & At Home Readers & Writer

 Last Friday afternoon we had a couple 4th graders visit and share a story with us. Thank you to Caroline & Maggie! The kindergartners enjoyed your visit.

This week was a short week with no school on Friday. We had some students bring back their March at home reading charts and Alexandria wrote in her journal. Keep us the great work Room 101. 

Preparing for Our Chicks - Ms. P's Science Center Chick Show

 

We started learning about lifecycles in school. We watched two short videos of Ms. P from the Science Center meeting with the farmer and getting the eggs and then we saw the giant incubator at the Science Center that will be taking care of the eggs until they hatch. We will be watching more videos about the chicks and how they are growing and changing in their eggs and then we will have eggs in our classroom incubator to watch the chicks hatch. We will be keeping a science observation journal to document the changes that the chicks will be going through. The students have been excited to learn about the chicks. We will make a craft of a chick hatching out of the egg we will write about our chicks. 

On Tuesday, Ms. Pavlicek came to Pine Glen and did the Science Center Chick Show. Ms. P. showed us all the different parts of the egg and talked to us about the life cycle of a chicken. We got to meet two of Ms. P.'s chickens from her coop at her house, and Addie pretended to be the hen and then she sat on her clutch of 10 eggs! Student also participated in learning the different sizes of eggs laid by different birds. The students are very excited about the chicken eggs coming to our classroom on Monday, April 6th and the eggs should start hatching Tuesday - Thursday, April 7th- 9th (after the 21 day incubation).

Well Wishes, Happy Birthday, Welcome & Congratulations!

On Tuesday, Mrs. Kearney stopped by Mrs. Parnell's house with a big poster and well wishes from our Room 101 Students. The knee surgery went well, and Mrs. Parnell is home recovering. Thank you for thinking of me!

On Friday we celebrated Logan's Birthday. He will be 6 on tomorrow! We also welcomed a new student on Tuesday. Welcome to Room 101 Jay'Vian! 

We had one students earn their next percentage point in ST Math and we had a two Boost Quest earners. Great job Logan & Riya!

BeeBots Around the World!

 

Mrs. Guanci was back with us again this week to continue our Computer Science lessons. Today we continued with our algorithm learning and this time we used the BeeBot to do our path and try to get the bee from continent to continent and from different landmarks on each continent. There was some trial and error but the students enjoyed using the BeeBots. This was a great review of our CKLA Geography Unit. Our Domain 7 Assessment will be on Monday.

Hoots, Writers and Congratulations!

This week we had many students earn Hoot cards for wonderful listening! We also had some at home writers. We had two students earn their next percentage in ST Math and one complete their next Quest on Boost. Nice work Room 101!

Lucky Visited Again!

 

Lucky the leprechaun visited Room 101 three times! He left treasure on Thursday, Monday and Tuesday, St. Patrick's Day. He left us secret messages that we need to work together to decipher. The students are using all the phonemic, phonetic and sight word skills they have been learning through out the school year to figure out Lucky's messages. We did not see Lucky but all of us in Room 101 were very happy when he visited. His visits helped with excitement during the long month of March.
