Welcome Guest Readers Harper & Chelsea

What a nice surprise to have 5th graders, Harper and Chelsea, model what fluent readers sound like by sharing the infamous story, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile by Bernard Waber with us!

Using Our Book Talk Power When Sharing Our Books With Our Partners

In Reading Workshop, students practiced using all of their reading Super Powers including their "Book Talk Power" when sharing their books with their parters.

Positive Outlook in the New Year

 To ring in the New Year, the students reflected on the character strengths they have learned thus far and wrote New Year's Resolutions by focusing on the character strength that they will try to use more often in the new year!  Their resolutions are currently on display in the hallway outside of our classroom for all to enjoy!

Building Hexagons

In math, the students had fun working with a partner to combine pattern blocks in different ways to discover how to make hexagons.  To conclude the lesson, we analyzed and discussed the various ways that groups created hexagons using various pattern block shapes.

 

An Extra Special Visit from Dr. Beattie

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Beattie and her sidekick, Hutton who visited our kindergarten classes to teach us about the importance of caring for our teeth in preparation for National Children's Dental Health Month in February!

Match Up with Ten Frames and Numbers

During math, students had fun doing Ten Frame Quick Looks where they were quickly shown a ten frame and asked to identify the number represented and explain how they saw it.  Afterwards, they enjoyed playing the game, "Match Up with Ten Frames and Numbers" in partnerships.  

Spirit Week - Day 5 - Pajama Day!

 To help raise funds for the Caleb White Project and have some fun during the holiday season, Glengary hosted 5 Spirit Days for the final 5 days of school leading up to the holiday break where students paid $1 for each day they participated.  For Pajama Day, the students were invited to wear their pajamas to school.  What a fun and comfy, cozy day we had together!
