The students in room 23 have been working very hard during the past two weeks. We had our first snow day as a result of Hurricane Sandy, we celebrated Halloween, voted in two elections (Presidential and Student Council), saw the first snowfall of the season and did much more!
In reader's workshop we have continued reading Mr. Popper's Penguins. Mr. Whitmore was a guest speaker on Friday and showed us pictures and videos from his trip to Antarctica. Next Friday will be black and white day. A notice about this special day should be in folders this weekend. As a class we have read 241 books this year and are on our way to achieving our goal of 1,250 books! We are finishing personal narratives in writer's workshop and have begun acrostic poems. We made Day of the Dead masks to start our study of Mexico. We have been learning some basic Spanish so please ask your child to say, "My name is____," in Spanish. Next week we will be starting the heredity unit in science and it should be interesting! Many students had great speeches prepared for the student council election. Meg D. will be representing Room 23 this year! Pictures will be posted soon.
Here is the quiz that Mr. Whitmore created for his presentation to the students about penguins. Take it with your child.
