First #TShirtOfTheDay of the new school year- perfect for the fact that we went book shopping in our library for the first time today!! 🐱

On Friday, we learned about the Age of Exploration and put the early European explorers in order. They didn’t expect me to leave them with “But what if I told you Columbus wasn’t first?”. Tune in tomorrow to hear me finish that statement! 😆

Finding similes in the song “Surface Pressure” from the movie Encanto today to kick off our figurative language unit during Writer’s Workshop. My students are as hardworking as Louisa- see what I did there? 😏

We had a fantastic first day of Book Clubs! Ask your student about the book they are reading and what their first Daily Job was! #oakstreetstories

We love JiJi! There is nothing better than finally solving a math puzzle on ST Math that you were stuck on- these mathematicians are great problem solvers ☺️ Oak Street

We were lucky enough to have Mrs. Parikh share with us the history of Diwali and how she and many other people around the world celebrate this holiday. We even designed our own Rangolis! Happy Diwali to all who celebrate!! Oak Street Grade 4 #oakstreetstories

Some cup stacking in PE with Mrs. G that are taller than us! Think we could build all the way to the ceiling? 🤔 Oak Street #oakstreetstories

In all of the excitement yesterday, I almost forgot to post! We had an excellent day that started with a visit from JiJi and ended with many spooky activities, including making calaveras and papel picado to celebrate Día de los Muertos! #spookyseason

Started our week with Kate Merten joining us to help us report “live” from Washington DC and ended the week studying animals via webcam to kick off our unit on The One and Only Ivan. Technology allows us to travel the world right from our classroom! #oakstories

It was a very FANCY Friday in Room 208!! #oakstreetstories

We also had a WILD time learning about Animal Adaptations with a visit from Roger Williams Park Zoo! We got to see how Luna the Hedgehog has special adaptations to keep her safe in the African Savannah and even got to pet two lizards from 2 very different habitats! #oakstreetstories

Happy Valentine’s Day from Rm 208!! To celebrate, we looked at various Greek and Roman myths about Eros/Cupid as part of our Greek Mythology unit. I am so lucky and LOVE that I get to teach these hard working learners each day! ❤️

We always love having Officer Amanda visit our class and today, we had a special guest, Ben Franklin! Who else can say they hung out with a golden retriever in class today?! Thank you to Officer Amanda and Ben! Franklin Police #OakStStories

Reviewing for MCAS in a few weeks with a Scavenger Hunt for Multiple Choice questions today. Ask your student how many they were able to find and answer correctly on the first try!

I remember when Nick started 4th grade. He was kind and soft spoken. He loved the Celtics and playing knockout at recess and he always invited others to play. He enjoyed reading and giving book talks. He will always hold a special place in my heart. #jfkladybug💙Nick Strong Foundation

Happy Movie/TV Character Day!! “You’ve been jealous of my good looks since the fourth grade, pal!” -Mike Wazowski #MonstersInc #oakstories
