We kicked off our Read Across America Week with a reading train...it was awesome! These 4th and 5th graders were so engaged in their reading! @KrisDeFazio@leuckstars @jamesburgschool @mrstuto@KimberlySCunha
Our class needed a refresher on the placement of decimals when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Students had to create the number on the board using their numbers and the dice as the decimal. When both teams were ready, They had to move the decimal as needed.
The V.I.P. Seat is back! Students who complete their homework and show C.H.A.M.P. qualities can be the V.I.P. of the class. As a reward they can sit at the golden table and receive Stuto Bucks (class economy) for their hard work.
The fifth grade did such an amazing job with their #waxmuseum ! After researching, they embodied their historical & modern day figures through backdrops and spoken biographies. @KrisDeFazio@LynnZinser_5 @jamesburgschool
Fifth Grade Wax Museum was a huge success. Thank you to all students, teachers, admin, and parents for your support! @jamesburgschool @KrisDeFazio@LynnZinser_5@mrstuto
After reading Balloons Over Broadway students engineered character floats to model Indonesian rod puppets and parade floats inspired by Tony Sarg. @KimberlySCunha@LynnZinser_5@KrisDeFazio
For World Kindness Day we created our bee kind hive and we discussed how to incorporate kindness into our everyday routines. #WorldKindessDay@LynnZinser_5@KrisDeFazio
S’s practiced vocabulary today by playing Musical Vocabulary. Each S wrote a sentence for the new vocabulary word and left a blank where the word belonged in that sentence. When the music stopped S’s sat at the nearest seat to determine which vocab. word worked for that sentence.
When S’s are drafting and revising we go into Starbucks Mode. We get into our comfy spots and listen to music (if it works for us). S’s also use their writing office folders to help them through the process of revising and editing!
S’s participated in our first gallery walk of the year! S’s walked around the room in order to determine the theme and include details to support their reasoning.
