What's that in the sky? Paper airplanes!

Important Dates:

May 28 - no school
June 15 - last day 11:00 dismissal

We had a school wide celebration on Friday! Mrs. Garcia's class came down to help our class make paper airplanes. Then, the whole school went outside and tried flying them through different obstacles such as hula hoops. It was fun for all the students. Here is the link that we used to teach us how to make the paper airplanes. There are videos and templates to printout. Paper Airplanes


Literacy:

We are working on writing our own fiction stories. While writing, we are also using what we have learned during reading. That means thinking about character, how to get characters in and out of trouble, and the lessons that character learn. I am amazed by the writing of the class! I can't wait to send home their stories!

The students have loved library this year! Mr Gile always makes books come to life with the wonderful voices he uses and he helps students find books for any interest! Thanks Mr. Gile for making books come alive!This past week was our last time to take out books for the year. Please look around at home and send back and library books you find.

On Tuesday, a librarian from the Winooski Memorial Library will come visit us to get the kids excited about visiting and using the library this summer.

Math:

We have been working hard defining the attributes of different shapes. We are using words such as straight, curved parallel, angles to describe shapes. We also have been working on decomposing (breaking shapes apart) and composing (putting shapes together) shapes in different way.
