Mrs. Sands is in full swing of teaching Storytown! This week, the kids read a story called "Line Drive," a biography about a girl who wanted to play baseball in the 1960's, but had to prove herself to the neighborhood boys first. We worked on fluency with choral reading, and we sang a song! Mrs. Sands broke out some John Fogerty, and we sang "Centerfield." Did you know that singing along with lyrics helps with fluency?
The kids really enjoyed their visit with Mr. Woodward and Mr. Phillips. They were very interested in what they had to say about citizenship, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution. The students were extremely well behaved, and we are very proud of them!
Our LEA representative came in to lead us in a soil studies unit. We went outside to test the percolation of the soil in the field here at school, which we will compare and contrast the soil on Bald Pate Mountain next week. We are recording the information in our soil journals. All of this information ties in to our theme of the constantly changing earth.
We have taken the unit 2 assessment in math, and are ready to move on to unit three, which focuses on geometry.
The kids have all earned their 200 BREAK points, and are ready for a celebration! We will be having a party next Friday, 10/30/09. More to come on that later.
