 Our first week of the hybrid learning model was a successful and although we still have some kinks to work out, the students were excited to be back in school, ready to learn!  When students were at home learning, they showed patience and understanding with their "at school," peers and me. :)  We are living our motto of, "holding each other up."

Please check the weekly email update for important information about conferences and other classroom happenings.

Here are some pictures from our week.  Mask breaks, indoor recess, celebrating Halloween and Mr. Banks  dressed as an '80s fitness guru!  

Have a great weekend!  Stay safe Saturday night!

 We have been working hard during remote learning.  We have completed two units in math, place value and addition/subtraction.  Multiplication and division will start next week.  We are still establishing routines in reader's and writer's workshop and will start our first interactive read aloud next week.  This past week, we participated in a virtual author visit with Amy Nielander, author of The Ladybug Race and Grama's Hug.  Thanks to the PCC for funding this enrichment opportunity.

Plant and Animal adaptations and structures have been the focus in science.  We will continue this work in the upcoming weeks.  Our focus in social studies has been on map skills, using an atlas and geography.  

Creative Arts Wednesdays are coming together.  Students have been learning about the many tools available in Google during tech workshop and have been creating maps with Mrs. E in Project Based learning.  In poetry workshop, we are writing Bio poems and should finish this week.

Google rolled out Jamboard, Breakout Rooms and Live Polling and we have been having fun learning how to use these tools during Google Meet.  

I am excited to finish full remote learning next week and am looking forward to hybrid learning beginning on October 26th!

Have a great weekend!

 Book bags are assembled...here are a few that are ready for pick up!

Room 23 is working hard and making progress!  We have finished the unit on place value in math and have taken our first math test.  Many students completed the bonus point studying assignment, WOOHOO!  Addition and subtraction start next week!  We have been writing about hopes, goals and dreams for fourth grade; these students have set great expectations for fourth grade!  We have been establishing routines in reader's workshop and I have been building book bags for everyone.  Pick up is on Monday from 3-4 in the afternoon.  Students are learning to use an Atlas and maps in daily geography and the students will be working independently on daily geography questions next week.  We will be starting a unit on animal adaptations in science next week.  Keep it up, Room 23 and remember, "If you dream it, you can achieve it!"

Have a great weekend!
