We got to see the first grade Bugz play today. What a wonderful tradition!

We had fun going down “memory lane” for “M” day...thinking of all the things we’ve learned and the fun activities we’ve done!

We had fun making origami today and realized how many geometric words we were using! “Wow it’s symmetrical!” “Now it looks like two triangles together.” “Fold it at a right angle.”

Overheard: “I am so proud of this!” Students are working on their unique wonder projects which are research projects on any topic they want!

So many different talents during our talent show!

Class talent show!

4K is very talented! Here is one of the many highlights! 🎼🎹

We had fun making bookmarks with our first grade reading buddies. Happy summer reading! 1ZFirstGrade

Reading outside yesterday before the rain came!

We had fun mini golfing and enjoyed “Beach Blanket Books” outside with K-5 classrooms.

Day 1 of our soccer unit with 4th grade! Today’s focus: dribbling and passing. ⚽️ 🥅 Mr. King Ms. Keeler

We are loving fourth grade so far! We have worked on learning how to be good winners and losers while playing math games, have been working on growth mindset especially when problems can be solved in many ways, and have taken some well-deserved movement breaks!

We are improving our seed designs in science class.

We had a wonderful visit from author Lesa Cline Ransome. We learned she writes many drafts of each book and that she perseveres to get to her final draft.

Some highlights from the week: predicting what Native Americans ate and built their homes with thousands of year ago, learning multi-digit multiplication, visiting the Wheelock Family Theater, and typing our personal narratives!

We are excited to be multiplying two digit by two digit numbers. We are exploring what that looks like visually and what the numbers actually mean.

We had a wonderful lesson from Baker Literacy focused on the writers of nonfiction texts. We thoughts about these questions. Why did the author write the text? Who would you recommend this book to and why?

We began to look at division word problems where the remainders can be divided. It was great to see students’ thinking in the form of pictures, models, equations, and words.

We put ice cubes around the school and observed them throughout day. We are writing down what we noticed about the temperature and ice cubes at the end of the day.

We had a fun time at the Caldecott Celebration. We got to listen to four different books read by four different staff members at Baker.
