Digital Photography

Hello Everyone
We are busy writing poems about ourselves. With these poems, we are working with our digital photos to put them into autoshapes and formatting the autoshape. The students are learning how to access their photo and adjust their size. The students are also learning how to save their work into their own folders and using the parts of Microsoft Word.
Have a great day!

Busy Second Week

Hello Everyone,
We are busy with many beginning of the year assessments. The students have finished their word wall assessment and have been busy with taking the reading inventory assessment.

Students have been getting to know one another and learn all of the names. During morning meeting, we have been greeting our friends and learning more about each other. Some of the games we have played are "Who's Missing?", "Who's the Leader?", "Frogger" and "Muck". Ask your child what their favorite game to play is and why?

What are we learning at this time.
We have started reading the book called Chelsey and the Green Haired Kid. We are doing activities with guide words in the dictionary and how to look items up in the dictionary. In Math, we are doing the review of activities about multiplication and division. In Science, we are learning about Friendship and Feelings. We are starting to learn about the globe and maps.

Have a great day!
Ms. Hagen
