 It was another fun and productive week in Room 118! The students continue to work SO hard and I couldn't be more proud of their effort! 😊

In math this week we worked with partners to play Rock, Paper, Scissors and then graph the data we collected! ✀

Our Scholastic News article this week highlighted Melody Day who helped her school create a playground that is accessible to everyone! After reading the article students wrote reasons why playgrounds should be accessible places where everyone can play and also designed two fun activities that would be accessible to all children. Be on the lookout for this Scholastic News article and activities coming home with your child this week! 

Don't forget to return Media books by Friday! 📚

We continue to explore Traditional Tales in Reader's Workshop, Writer's Workshop and our daily read alouds! 

Thank you to Mrs. Feeney, Mrs. Hollister and Mr. Royal for presenting another fantastic Docent lesson on Tuesday! We learned so much about Winslow Homer! 🎨

On Monday we "rocked our socks" to support Down Syndrome awareness! 

We kicked off a few March Madness themed projects last week including a GoNoodle Banana Banana bracket and a March Book Madness competition! Ask your child about what GoNoodle videos we have done and what books we have read so far in our competitions! 🏀

Congratulations to James who was our Star Student last week! We loved learning more about James from his All About Me poster and from the pictures that he brought from home! Keep up the awesome work James! You are such an important and valued member of our Room 118 family! ❤
