April 14 - 17th

We were very happy to welcome back Conrad this week!  He shared some highlights from his stay in Italy with us.


Savannah also shared some highlights from her family trip to Australia!


In Math this week we continued our work on fractions:


A few children shared their mysteries that they wrote in Reading Groups:



This week in Social Studies we started a unit on being a good shopper.  We began by discussing the differences between needs and wants. The children brainstormed a chart  of what they consider needs and wants when making buying choices.  We discovered that some items were debatable, such as books and computers.  Here are the lists the students came up with:

NEEDS: food, clothes, shoes, shelter, water, school supplies, electricity

WANTS: sweets/treats, pets, toys, books, computers, art supplies, jewelry, TV/cable




Class Read-Aloud


Liam had the class play a fun game of Jeopardy to celebrate his birthday!



On Friday we had the opportunity to see the Toledo Opera Company perform
