Talent Show and Eggstravaganza

Today was a fun day. We started the day with the Eggstravaganza which is an event where students build contraptions to hold eggs while they are dropped from a height.




Later we had a talent show.


The pictures are a little blurry. Sorry!

Poetry

Our class has started their poetry unit and some funny, touching and visually striking poems are being written by students.
Here are some pictures of our rose drawings and one of the accompanying haiku poems.

Students are working on projects on a class poetry website. If your child has shown you his or her Google Classroom account at home, your child should also be able to show you our poetry website. Feel free to visit the site to see what your child is expected to accomplish this term in poetry.











Space Inquiry Projects

Division Five spent some time after spring break finishing up their inquiry projects on space topics. These projects took a variety of forms and I was very impressed with how hard the students all worked. Below are some of the projects students completed on-line as well as some pictures of projects students completed in more hands-on ways.

Back from Spring Break

This morning we had parent reading. Parents came to the school to read to the students. This time, the vice principal and a parent helper read The Book with No Pictures by B.J. Novack to the school. We liked the part of the book that read, "Never read this book again! It's ridiculous."

We went outside to do some obstacle courses for DPA. Students teamed up and created obstacle courses for other students to do.






This week, we also got Chromebooks to use in the classroom. We have to log in and put in a password to use them.



Earlier this week we also started learning the Folk dance and the May Pole dances.
