A Year in Review

We did it! I want to thank everyone for their courage and dedication they have shown over the past three months, as we quickly shifted to an online learning classroom. I am really thankful for the time we got to spend together, even if it was on a computer. You have all worked so hard and grown so much as learners! I am one proud teacher. Have a wonderful summer break, full of rest and adventures and I look forward to seeing you all in the fall!

Onomatopoeia Art

Over the last two weeks in Language Arts, we have been working on developing technical tools for our writer's toolbox. We have learned about similes, using triple scoop words to add a variety of words to our "writer's palette," personification and onomatopoeia.  We have done many lessons and activities around these concepts. Below are pictures from today's lesson on Onomatopoeia.

Solving Division Problems Using a Numberline

Self- Portraits

It's been a while since students completed self-portraits. This time, we focused on looking closely at adding realistic details. We are looking forward to sharing them!
