We had a fun day in Room 27! We started the day off with the Variety Show. We have some VERY talented students at RBE. We even had a few "celebrities" make an appearance. (Picture below) We played with Snap Circuits (pictures here) today and did some opinion writing. :)
Reading/Writing
In reading and writing next week, we will be working on poetry. We will be reading and analyzing poetry during reading and then we will be writing different types of poems during writing.
The students finished up (a few are still putting finishing touches on posters) their opinion pieces today. They will be sharing these pieces at Oreos and Opinions on Tuesday from 7:45-8:15. I hope you can join us. I will be purchasing Oreos this weekend, they wrote opinion/persuasive pieces today about Regular Oreos or Flavored Oreos. We will see who has the best arguments. :)
Math
We will continue to work on problem solving and early algebra next week. This unit teaches the students a lot about perserverance. They have to look at a problem and figure out different ways to solve the problem. The problem this week involved counting coins, determining how many go in a roll, then splitting the money up equally.
Field Day
Field Day is next Friday. We will be participating from 11:30-2:15. Please send a full change of clothes with your student in case they get wet. It will not be a fun ride home on the bus if they are all wet. It is also Summer Dress Up Day so they can wear their summer arrite, but no swimsuits and it needs to be school appropriate. :)
End of Year Countdown
We started our End of the Year Countdown today. We have 10 (well 9 now) ballons and will pop one balloon each day and it has a small celebration for the day. Today's was Tootsie Roll Pops.
Homework Lunch Bunch
We had a group eat lunch in the classroom for doing their homework at least 3 times this week. We have one more week of this incentive. If students do homework at least 3 times next week, they will be able to eat in the room the following Monday (we don't do it next Friday since we are already eating in the room).
