Look at us share!
We have worked so hard on writing our small moment stories, so today we sat with our writing partners and shared. We spent some time reading our stories to each other, being good listeners, and gave some feedback. It was a great time!
These kids can write! Look for more [...]
Yeeha! Our first fourth grade store was open on Friday and I will tell you what…those fourth graders have really earned a lot of spending money. That was great because we had some fantastic donations sent in by our wonderful, generous parents. The kids could really “Shop ’til they dropped”! Now [...]
We went on an incredible field trip yesterday. Not only did the kids come back to school wearing cool caps, fancy safety goggles, and carrying gold and gems, but they learned so much about the uses of sand and how it is mined. They also had an opportunity to plant marram grass, get [...]
We started our Lucy Calkins writing program this week and we have spent quite a bit of time talking about how many ideas we really have to write about. We have been generating ideas and then spending some time just writing “small moment” or “seed” stories. We also took some time to go [...]
We had to have a team cheer…so…we had some brave students make up some cheers, we filmed them, the class voted, and we picked the cheer that we will use as “our” cheer for the year. They are so creative, you just have to see them. Mr. Overway even had to get in [...]

We went on a great field trip today to P.J. Hoffmaster State Park in Muskegon. The weather was just beautiful and we learned so much. I keep telling the kids how fortunate we are to live in such an amazing part of the world, but today they got to see it for themselves. [...]
We are heading out to the state park for our study of the dunes. Please make sure that you wear lots of layers, so you are warm or cool…depending on the weather. You will need a sack lunch as well. It is going to be a great day! Let’s learn as [...]
WOW! We had a busy day on Friday and I just want to share it all! I have included pictures of our new dice game we learned called “Farkle”. Ask your child all about it. This game is great because it doesn’t take a lot of materials, but it does take [...]
