Classroom News

What a great start to 2016!  Our class was excited to welcome a new student as we returned after the holiday break!  Everyone also seemed ready to get back to work.

In Literacy, we have been learning about informational texts and exploring ways to think about and talk about our learning.  We discussed the importance of reading all parts of a text, including text features.  We have also been working on asking questions to help us "grow our knowledge" as we read these interesting non-fiction books.  In our second and third grade writing classes, students have been creating their own informational texts.

We also continued our Lego Robotics work with our partners as we created programs that included a loop, motor directions, and a math problem.  Students shared their programs with each other.
