Informational Text in the Real World

Parents-

After reading our TFK magazine and learning more about the wild United States weather Mr. Edwards showed us the following site:  Earth Observatory.  This site is fascinating!

Enjoy!

Windmill Island Field Trip

A special thanks to Connor's dad, Marty, and Olivia's dad, Doug for going with us on Friday.

Field Trip Reminder

Dear Parents and Students,

This is a reminder of our field trip tomorrow to Windmill Island. Children will need to dress appropriately for the weather. Students must bring a disposable lunch bag unless they’ve ordered a sack lunch. Thank you!

Prezi and our Fiction Project

Parents-

I am excited to give the children a chance to explore a type of online technology called "Prezi."

Prezi is called an online zooming presentation.  I have started using Prezi in place of Powerpoint.  The children will be creating a Prezi for their fiction book project.  They will still need to work face-to-face with their group members to sketch out the presentation but when ready, will have the chance to sit down and create their Prezi.  All Prezi's will be created under my account and I will oversee/preview all material as it is being created and completed.

What's the best part for you?  We will link all book Prezi's to the classroom blog!

In the meantime, explore Prezi!

5th Grade Orchestra Concert from March

Flat Stanley visits the zoo!

Flat Stanley arrived in the mail last week for a visit to Waukazoo!  He hung out in our classroom, getting to know everyone.  Flat Stanley also participated in expert day and had his picture taken with everyone outside.  (He says, "Hello, Carter!")

This particular Flat Stanley is visiting from a second grade classroom at Rodgers Forge Elementary in Maryland!  Today he left on the next leg of his journey...only Mrs. Perrien knows where he is heading next!
