Classroom News and Photos

We had another action-packed week in our classroom!  Our first ECO lesson on Tuesday focused on interdependence.  We played a game called Owls, Mice, and Seeds that taught us about a specific food chain and how the animals and plants in a food chain are connected.  Ask your child what happened when the number of owls, mice, or seeds changed.

In our writing classes, we are learning to "lift the level" of our personal narrative writing.  It is wonderful to see the enthusiasm that students have for creating their "small moment" narratives.  This week, students in my writing group learned how to stretch out their writing by adding meaningful details.  We talked about our five senses and how we can use what we saw, heard, smelled, touched/felt, or tasted to help us add descriptions.

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our EMES Open House!  It was wonderful to see students playing math games and sharing their work.
