Our ten day countdown to the last day of the 2021-22 school year began today! Each day, the students pop a balloon in their classrooms and get to do a special activity with their classmates. Ask your child which activity their class did today! While we are wrapping up our last units of study, we are also looking forward to some special events over the next two weeks. 4th gradeers enjoyed their walking field trips to the library last week, and the 5th grade is looking forward to theirs next week.

Ms. Funk's 5th grade class is currently learning about folktales in literacy. They have covered tall tales, fables, fairy tales, and legends. They will continue their exploration with myths in the following weeks. 5th graders retold a legend they read and created a visual summary using a graphic novel or comic format. They shared their summaries with the class using Seesaw and through presentations.
4th Grade
Miss Slowik’s class is wrapping up their Chasing Vermeer novel study! At the end of the week, students engaged in emoji and hot seat discussions. During the emoji discussion, students related different emojis to the important events from the book. The discussion heated up when students were in the hot seat! Students picked a character from the story and answered their classmates’ questions from the character’s perspective. The students are getting ready to show what they have learned by recording a podcast or making a short movie
