We have had a great week! On Monday, the recess knitting club met for the first time. Miss Jan and Miss Mim, from the Franklin Senior's Center, came to lead the group. Thanks to Mrs. Greene for helping us out. Big shoutout to the PCC for providing the needles for the group.
Ms. Liz, JFK Poet in Residence, worked with all of the fourth graders to create poems about the earth. We learned the poetry chant, participated in a poetry band and poetry reading. Ms. Liz will be back for the Poetry Coffeehouse in June.
We finished reading The One and Only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate this week and are working on identifying themes in the story with supporting evidence. Join Mrs. Merten and I on Wednesday, May 15th at An Unlikely Story to meet Katherine Applegate. The event is free! See an earlier post for more information. Most students rated this book a 10!
A round of Kahoot was a fun way to wrap up our unit on the west. We will be heading to the Southwest this week.
Our geometry unit is finished and we are reviewing all of our math skills from the year in preparation for the MCAS. Students will be "guest teachers," to explain different concepts.
JFK Ladybugs work together as a team to build community, learn and grow. Friday was a great day!
