Happy Spring

There is finally warm weather after a cold, tiring Winter! The temperature is perfect, the sun is shining, and plants are plentiful! Make sure to spend lots of time outdoors.

 We are starting our poetry unit for reading, and will soon begin our writing poetry unit.

 It was recently Dahlia's birthday, and tomorrow will be Victoria's birthday. Happy birthday to Dahlia and Victoria.

PARCC and more

PARCC is tomorrow, so try to practice math today. We are learning about fractions and how to convert them to decimals. 

 At technology and library, we are creating travel videos that convince people to visit U.S. landmarks. We gather information and write scripts for our video with a partner.

  Speaking of scripts, we worked with Travis from Berkshire Theatre Group today. We created conflict charts, making up characters and listing their objectives and why, and their tactics.

Mrs. Cosel and Jack visit!

Today Mrs. Cosel and Jack visited! We've missed her a lot. Jack is so cute!

BTG

Today, Travis from the Berkshire Theatre Group visited our class. We played a game called park bench, in which one person sat on a "bench" and the other person tried to make them laugh or smile. The person that wasn't on the chair would say "Is this seat taken?" and the person  on the bench would say, " Yes." The person that wasn't on the bench would say, "By whom?" Then, the person on the bench would make up someone sitting on the bench beside them. After that, the improvising began( if the person hadn't laughed yet)
