Research Roundup


We began our day with our in-class spelling bee. It was an intense competition as the grade 4s are terrific spellers. Well done to Carter, Rachel, Maria, Angela, and Abel for lasting to make it to the final competition next week Tuesday, June 10. Parents are welcome to attend. The competition starts at 9 am beginning with the youngest grades.

Research work continued on our Who We Are inquiry unit. We watched DVDs about bicycle safety, Internet Safety, and stranger safety. Students then silently read the non-fiction texts in the classroom about safety and took further notes.

We had our twenty-fifth literature circle groups meeting today. Students had class time to read chapter 26. It is important that The Secret Garden books and reading duo-tangs be brought to school daily as we will be having daily group meetings as well as time allocated in class for reading.

Congratulations to Braeden, Lukas, and Adam for placing in the top 3 positions from last week's track and field event for our class. These boys will be visiting and competing at the Maples School this coming Friday.

Students attended French and gym class today.
