We had a fabulous time with our pen pals. The pen pals walked around Burr School and our children gave them a tour. It was fun to see our class showing their own pals all the great parts of Burr! Afterwards, we had snack together in the cafeteria. We have begun our narrative unit in writing. The children have been creating spectacular stories. We discussed using better descriptive words to that it is more interesting to the reader. We officially said good bye to “go”, “went”, and “said” and created a list of other words that we can use!
In math we have been learning about fractions. We had lots of fun using chocolate bars to help teach this concept. After dividing the chocolate into various fractions, the children enjoyed eating the delicious treat. Yum!
Our class has been learning lots about sound during science time. We made fun telephones using string and cups.
After writing back and forth to our buddies for several months and learning about each other, our HES buddies visited us. We enjoyed a fabulous Cultural Arts program together. Afterwards our new friends came back to our classroom and we made friendship bracelets for each other. We also enjoyed a tasty snack and then played outside on the playground. It was wonderful getting to know our buddies and meet them! We are looking forward to their return soon! Thanks for visiting!!
