Picasso Faces

These Picasso Faces were painted by 2nd and 3rd grade students. We focused on using color and shape in abstract art to convey emotion.

Classroom News December 2nd

Hi to All!

I was so excited to see the students after our Thanksgiving Holiday.  I hope everyone received their Thanksgiving Acrostic poetry, written by the children.  This week many exciting things are happening in room 13.  We are working hard in math. Students are learning new geometry concepts. We used our bodies to create right angles and we are also learning how to draw 3 dimensional solids. (See the photos below)  In language arts we completed our wetland animal reports. The student research will be hanging on the wall outside of room 13 for the next two weeks.  Please stop by and read some of our work.  Finally, in science today we were very excited to do an experiment with an unknown solid and water.  We watched the chemical reaction. We will continue to explore what 'chemical reaction' means as we do more experiments with solids, liquids, and gasses. Thank you to Alexandra's mom and Jax's mom who were very very helpful in helping us complete our experiments.

On another note, book order forms were sent home on Monday.  If you are interested in ordering please do so on or before Saturday December 5th.  Last book order, our class earned 10 free books to add to our collection!  Thank you to all parents who support our class with book orders. :)

Finally, homework was sent home Monday, and will be sent home next Monday.  There will be NO homework over winter break, but please KEEP READING every night!

Thanks for all you do to support your children,
