Spring?? Is that you?

We have finally started to see a peak of spring weather and the kids and this teacher are VERY excited. We have been up to a lot since my last post.

We reviewed friendly letter format and wrote letters to the Disney company! The students picked their favorite Disney character from a movie and addressed the letter to them. The company should be sending a postcard back to the student's home address. It is fun for the student's to get used to sending and receiving mail!

We also wrote news articles. The students had to get use to writing informational pieces. They were allowed to chose their own topics. We had informational animal pieces, to sports, some even wrote about the legend of the Banshee!

We have also been studying the Susquehannock Indian tribe. It was neat to see one student who brought in her own supplies to build her very own tribal village. This inspired other students to do this project at home too! Students used rocks and leaves to make wigwams and longhouses. It was neat to see what we are learning about come alive!

I also had some photos on my phone from PSSA Week. Each day we had a special activity after we worked hard on our tests. Some of the pictures below show our activities that ranged from a seeing eye dog presentation, to "Michaelangelo" style portraits, and finally some fun with Madlibs. These activities made for a fun post-testing afternoon!

We have been studying nouns/verbs and adjectives all year long! Students really enjoyed this board game that we played to help us practice how to identify different types of nouns/verbs/ and adjectives!
