Check out the video that Mrs. Hill our music teacher shared with us today. 

We Are Scientists

We have been learning about the functions of parts of a plant this week in science.  Students started out the week forming a hypothesis about what they thought would happen to the celery when it was placed in water that blue food coloring had been added to.  Each day they have recorded their observations in their science journals.

Human Number Lines and Rounding

Want a skill to "stick"? Get them up, get them moving, and let them be silly...we formed a human number line to show halfway points and help us understand rounding to the nearest 10 and 100. 

Pictures, Goodies for Grands, Fundraiser Kickoff, and Loads of Learning- Oh My!

I hope everyone has had a fabulous week! We have been very busy in Room 208!  We have learned more about South Carolina's six regions, compared numbers in math, and much more! Did you know that your child is already learning how culture and characters can impact a text? Pretty impressive, huh? :) They have also learned how to uncover the lesson learned in a folktale and how they can provide evidence from the text to support their answers. We are continuing to learn from Patricia Polacco in Writer's Workshop and have gained a wealth of knowledge and ideas for our own writing through her stories. We are going nonstop all day filling our brins with wonderful information...we keep up a steady pace of learning!

Ms. Wells and I look forward to seeing you at Open House on Monday, September 8th from5:30-6:30.  You will also have an opportunity to shop in our bookfair from 5:15-6:45. Be sure to check out our wall of fame with our very own "newspaper" stories about some pretty amazing kids- your children! :)

I appreciate the support that you have shown already this year. We are blessed with a great group of kids! They are working so hard and I couldn't be prouder of them.  Their success begins at home and carries over into the classroom. Thank you for going the extra mile by taking time to invest in your child's education. The payoff is priceless. :)

See you soon,
Mrs. Winebrenner
