Suminagashi Art with Mr. B~

What a privilege it is for our classroom to welcome a wonderful artist and supporter of schools into our classroom.  Mr. B. loves art and shares his passion with students every chance he gets.  With a wonderful donation for supplies from his mother, Ms. Ann Beauchamp, we were able to participate in Suminagashi art. Suminagashi is known as "The Japanese Art of Marbling." 

 

Room 4 thanks you Mr. B. and the thoughtful donation from your mother for our art supplies. We love ART~

*Thank you, Veterans*

We are so fortunate to live in America.  We spent the day after November 11, reading literature and discussing the reason we weren't at school on Monday.  Please enjoy the video clip we watched and the drawing it inspired Zoey to create.  To our Armed Services, Room 4 thanks you for our freedom.  Here's to the RED, WHITE, and BLUE~

Thank you, Uncle Sam~

Uncle Sam came to visit us today as a reward for reading AR books. His special message, along with our librarian Mrs. Smalley was, "I want YOU, to keep reading!" You got it, Uncle Sam.  From Room 4.

AR Comprehension Stars

Reading a book takes you on a trip of a lifetime.  It's your imagination, your creative way to understand what the book is all about.  It is possible to swim in the ocean next to a great white shark or become a super sleuth while reading A to Z Mysteries.  Whatever your favorite choice is, fiction or nonfiction, when you open a book, your journey is only a title away.  Thank you, for sharing in the joy and the great adventures you get with reading.  

Student of the Month Winners from September and October

Congratulations to all eight of you.  You have worked hard.  You have earned your award.  You have every right to be proud.  Everyone in Room 4 is cheering you on.
