Happy Thanksgiving!

We have been learning about Native Americans and Pilgrims in Social Studies. We spent time talking about the first Thanksgiving, and all the things that the Pilgrims had to be thankful for. We made our own turkeys and the children wrote what they were thankful for. Have a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving break!

4th Grade Buddies!

We meet with our 4th Grade Buddies in Ms. Bongers' class every Barrie Spirit Day (first Friday of the month). This is something we always look forward to and the kids really enjoy spending time together and learning. This month, the second graders and fourth graders worked together to do a scavenger hunt in our two classrooms. Among the list of things to find: a picture of your teacher, a book title with a "K" in it, and something that has polka dots!

 Above, Logan and Matthew work together on the scavenger hunt.

What's Your Favorite Season?

We've been working on graphing in math. The children have learned how to collect data, create a graph, and interpret the results.  

 Cameron and Drew are using the graphing cards to learn things about their classmates.

 Noelle (above) and Julia (below) are graphing the number of Skittles they had in their bag.

Welcome Ms. Drees!

We welcomed Ashley Drees, a field study student from UW-Whitewater into our classroom in October. She will be observing, participating, and teaching in our classroom through December 2nd. We are lucky to have her, and we think she's doing a GREAT job! 

Fall Party!

We had our Fall Party on October 27th.  The children enjoyed delicious treats and had a blast dressing up in their costumes and parading around the school grounds! Thank you to families who provided treats, juice, or supplies for this celebration. Also thank you to parents who volunteered time to help out at the party!
