We have been busy in room 10!

We have enjoyed two dance sessions focusing on artists and movement.  This is a wonderful way to expand on our biography unit and to think about art in different ways.  We have one more dance session remaining, next Wednesday.  The kids have really enjoyed this program!

Continuing with our biography unit we have read books about Thomas Edison, Helen Keller and Louis Braille along with learning about famous people of the Revolutionary War such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.  The kids really love to learn about other people's lives.

Part two of the biography project went home yesterday.  After conferencing with each student yesterday about their organizers the students now take the organizer to a first daft form and then to a final draft in cursive.  During our next few art times the students will be working on portraits of their famous person as well.  All of these pieces will come together in a great final product which will be displayed outside our room on the bulletin board.  Come take a look mid February when they make their debut!

The math facts the students are responsible for next week are 0,1,2,3.  Keep practicing math facts with your children every night so that they are comfortable with them and know them all!
