Art class

Today in art class we made clay pots . You first would stamp and make it in to a circle. Then you would make the coil and our art teacher Mrs. Goedde is going to put them in the Kiln and paint!!!!

Megan's AWSOME post!

Measurement Review

Today in math we practiced and reviewed measurement for our test tomorrow through an activity called "Solve and Coach". Students all had a piece of paper with a problem to solve. After they all solved the first problem they put their hands up to find a partner. Partners switched papers, solved a new problem, coached each other, and gave encouraging words before finding a new partner.

We did a fantastic job with this activity and had fun while doing it! We also made a graffiti wall of measurement terminology. Don't forget to study for our test tomorrow!

Today our dare officer came in to discuss different situations of peer pressure. At the end we had to act out a situation of peer pressure involving drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. Don't forget, PRISM check is Thursday for the conclusion and we have math review #5 and our cold read due Friday. Don't forget if you want to bring in your favorite poem for writing class so we can share them throughout the week.

Research!

One thing that stuck with me is that during writing time we researched our topics and took notes.

If you would like to donate any food/drink items to our class please email me with what you would like to send in with your student. I am in need of candy hearts (with the fun sayings!) for a specific activity. Thank you SO much! :) 

*Students can also bring in valentines. I will send home a class list so your student can be sure to include ALL students in our class!
