First Few Days...
Here are some snaps from our first few days! We spent lots of time exploring outside and learning about what it means to be a scientist and make observations! We also spent a lot of time exploring with tools in our classroom, students spent a lot of time familiarizing themselves with resources such as books, twitter, SmartBoard and math manipulatives. We will continue to work on utilizing these resources this week!

Fun in K-1
Greetings!
We have had an awesome week so far! Students had their first experience with Twitter today, we tweeted our approval of a very cool baby stingray photograph! Students were very excited by the prospect of sharing our learning and ideas with the world.
The students and I also started our study of Monarch Butterflies today. We joined our partner K-1 class across the hall for some non-fiction read aloud about the life cycle of a butterfly. Students are very excited for this unit of study and had lots of great questions about the process of the life cycle. This is going to be a very exciting year of learning!

Sharing Writing!
Greetings!
One of the things we have been working on so diligently in sixth grade is the craft of writing. The past three weeks we have been studying poetry, we have sampled from greats such as Walt Whitman and Maya Angelou as well as Dr. Seuss and Eugene Fields. Students explored independently as well as in guided exposure many different styles and mediums of poetry, music was a quick favorite ranging in artists from Dierks Bentley and Beyonce to Billie Holiday and Bob Marley. Students experimented with creating their own versions of free verse, light verse, haiku, rhyme and many more! Here are some samples of students sharing their haikus!
