Good luck to all of you who are running the Boston Marathon!
The Clark School Auction was not only a wonderful success but an enjoyable and fun evening.
The Silent Auction was very competitive not to mention the mind-boggling trivia contest!
Congratulations to all the winners!
Welcome Back Zoe! We missed you during your stay in Venice! Zoe is finalizing her travel journal and will share her experiences and adventures with us this week. What a great geography lesson this will be!
Another great week:
- Alicia Quintano, the storyteller, visited with Groups 1 & 2 on Wednesday morning. She and her sidekick Koala puppet, Pierre, entertained the students with great folklore stories and humorous songs. The students were challenged as they participated in Alicia's writing workshop which involved responding to a writing prompt to create an imaginative story and illustration. Upon completion, students were encouraged to present their stories to the class. What great writers we have!
- Group 2 completed wonderful writing pieces on their science projects in their journals. We are becoming more conscientious about our organization, word usage, capitalization, punctuation and handwriting.
- We are thoroughly enjoying our Group Book, Stuart Little, and Stuart's many challenges and adventures!
- In geography, we learned that there are six time zones in the United States and 24 time zones in the world! Do you know that there is a one hour difference between each time zone? California is the only state that has five time zones!
- In Social Studies, we discussed how communities change and the causes and effects of this process.
- In science, we discussed animal habitats and how they build their homes to meet their needs.
- In Historical Figures, we completed our readings on our favorite president, Abraham Lincoln, and an art project.
- In Math, students are very busy completing their Mathathon books. The completed booklets and the pledge sheets and money are due this week to Denise. Thank you for your participation for this great cause!
