Magnet Show

Mr. Musselman brought in the Science Center's amazing magnet show. We learned about different types of magnets, the poles of the magnets, and magnetic materials. This was a great culmination of the learning we did about magnets before vacation.

Happy Dr. Seuss Week!

 

Happy 100th Day of School!

We celebrated our 100th day of school today! Thank you to the families who came in to help out. We couldn't have done it without you.

We hope that everyone has a fun, relaxing, and safe vacation week! We're looking forward to seeing you back in school on February 27th!

Writing and Aquarium Fun

Last week, Room 177 was lucky enough to get to meet and work with a famous author, Kelly Boswell. We worked on writing procedural posters. We had a lot of ideas! We will be continuing to work on procedural writing (how to) over the next few weeks.

On Thursday, we were able to head into Boston to visit fish and other animals at the New England Aquarium. It was a beautiful day, and not too crowded, so a great time was had by all! My favorite part was seeing the penguins because they are my favorite animal. Ask your child what their favorite part was. We wrote all about it when we got back to school on Friday!

What A Week So Far!

We have had SO many fun activities this week and it's only Tuesday!

Yesterday, we earned a whole school reward for earning so many STARbucks. Mrs. Dressler invited us to the cafe for popcorn and a movie! We watched the movie, The Lorax, which taught us about how important it was to take care of our environment in a fun way.

Today, Ms. P from the Science Center brought a hedgehog to visit our school to talk about mammals and the book The Mitten by Jan Brett. We have been learning so much about hedgehogs and Ms. P taught us so much more. Be sure to ask your child about a fact that they have learned about hedgehogs.

Happy New Year!

It was so great to be back to school this week. I am definitely one to have a schedule and routine! We missed having our classroom buzzing with learning, fun, and excitement.

We learned about some funny New Year's Eve traditions and then talked about resolutions. We thought about things that we could learn to do, improve upon, or stop doing all together. There were so many great ideas! Some students plan to practice singing, learning to jump on a pogo stick, and keeping their rooms clean.

Today in library, we made a word splash about winter and learned about what animals and humans do in the winter time. Some of us like to play in the snow, eat the snow, and have hot chocolate after playing all day.

Here's our word splash!

Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend!

Happy Vacation!

We had a great day before vacation! We talked about our new worry eater, Flamm, and read the book What Do You Do With A Problem? We all have lots of worries and Flamm will be there to help us out!

Our third grade buddies helped us brainstorm reasons why we love Memorial School. There are so many reasons! Mrs. Cyr and I got in the spirit, too. We must share a brain because we wrote the same thing without even talking to one another.

I hope that you all have a happy, safe, and relaxing vacation. Can't wait to see you next year!
