We have had a very exciting past week here in room 23! On Monday, Mrs Silvia came for her third visit and taught our class all about the Native American tribes of the Midwest. We learned about how they hunted, what they wore, and parts of their culture! Tuesday started Miss Decker’s last week of “take over days.” In math we have learned quite a bit about symmetry and reflections. We wrote “creepy clown” poems, drew reflections of pictures, and learned about lines of symmetry. In science we finished our “Wild Weather” unit with blizzards, but we have had a lot of first hand experience with that! For social studies, we have learned more about the Midwest and learned a lot about the important bodies of water there. In writing we began “apology poems” or “Forgive Me Nots,” inspired by William Carlos Williams and his poem “This Is Just To Say.” On Thursday we had the honor of having Ruby Bridges at our school! What an amazing time! She gave an amazing presentation on her experience as the first black student in the South to attend an all-white elementary school. Greyson even volunteered to pretend he was Ruby and tried to talk to the governor into letting him go to school! On Friday, we made a word splash as a class and wrote Ruby Bridges acrostic poems. They are fantastic! Overall, what a great week in room 23!
