It was great to see that the kids had fun over April vacation! They seemed rested and ready to come back (even though they probably wouldn't have admitted it!).
As part of our state research, we started to notice and observe how a Scholastic News article is written. We read articles in the magazine first "like a reader" and then "like a writer." When we read it as a writer, we took notice of the structure of a newspaper article. The kids then started to write an article about their state's geography and climate based on the research they have done so far.
In social studies the kids performed their Rosa Parks play for the class. They were well prepared for this and had fun acting out different parts of the Rosa Parks story. We have had a lot of class discussions around equality. The kids are very passionate about their feelings towards treating everyone equally.
Just a reminder...we have the math MCAS next Tuesday, May 6 and Thursday, May 8.
Enjoy the weekend!
