Reading

In classroom 14, Team M+M we are starting a new unit. The new genre is Mystery! We are starting a new class novel Nancy Drew And The Clue Crew April Fools Day.

Nancy and her best friends Bess and George, got a letter with no return address. When they opened the envelope it was a report card. Could this be a prank? When they kept looking, it said ……. APRIL FOOL’S DAY! It was from April Funk. A new student in Nancy’s school, who is having an April Fool’s Day Party. We are looking forward to finding out what happens in the mystery!

Genius Hour

In classroom 14, we are making all different projects in Genius Hour. We are making videos, poster boards and  PowerPoints. We are making a Google Doc for pictures, videos and websites to help us. We will bring in some things from home and that will help us make our projects. For example, some children have chosen to research how to make charm bracelets, slime and how to draw a comic strip.   

Music

In music, we are getting  ready to practice for our recorder concert on May 7, 2015. Our music teacher is Mrs. Hussey. Some  of our songs are Merrily We Roll Along and our new song is Juba. Some people are taking the NYSSMA test which is New York state school association and it is annual every year.

Art

In art, we are doing linear art and painting in water color. That is when we draw a picture and add patterns to our drawing and then we paint in water color. For example, some kids are drawing beaches, space and the Eiffel Tower.
