First quarter is almost finished and we have been working on some fun projects in the library.
Grade K has been listening to a bunch of Munsch; all those wacky books by Robert Munsch. Mrs. DiRusso's favorite is Zoom about a little girl who gets a super cool wheelchair.
Grade 1 has been studying all about Marc Brown the author of the Arthur books. Keep your eyes open for our movie star sunglasses.
Grade 2 has been visiting the Black Lagoon with author Mike Thaler. Ask the students who Mrs. Beamster is.
Grade 3 has been working with fables. We read Aesop's The Tortoise and the Hare as well as Fables by Arnold Lobel. Now we are looking at Yo, Aesop! We are becoming experts at matching the moral with the fable.
Grade 4 has been working on the comprehension strategy of questioning. We have been reading a lot of the books by Chris VanAllsburg. Writing our quesitons on post-its is almost as much fun as looking for Fritz in every book.
Grade 5 has been working on PowerPoint biography projects. Soon we'll be showing our finished slideshows about famous people like Tom Brady, Will Smith, and Avril Lavigne.
Grade 6 has been working on making movies using PhotoStory. We went on vaction anywhere in the world or even beyond.
Grade 7-8 have been working on the Middle Grades Project. Most of us have selected our topic and will begin researching soon.
