Happy May!

We had a very busy week last week! The children have done a great job adjusting to their new teacher as well as to the changes in their classroom.

On Friday the children got to listen to a fascinating presentation from Cynde McInnis, founder of The Whalemobile. 
Meet Nile, a 43 foot inflatable model of the real Nile who can often be spotted spending her summers off the coast of Massachusetts.

                                 
 
In the belly of Nile they go!
The children learned ways in which whales are similar to humans.

The children have really been enjoying earned motor breaks throughout their school day!
The students have been working hard in math learning about money as well as fractions.

The girls are enjoying reading their procedural text during our reading block. The students have learned that procedural texts come in many forms. In this photo, the girls are reading a cookbook.

    #1 I liked going into Nile and seeing her fake lungs,heart,and blowhole.

    #2 I think that the bones of a real whale are very light because when I held one it felt light for a bone.

    Hi Mrs.Mack,

    I was so glad to see you! I loved seeing the whale mobile.

    I liked going inside the whale & learning how they get their names by their tail!

    Love, Hailey!

    Dear Mrs. Granoth, the whale mobile was fun and I learned a lot. I learned that whales are a lot like people. - GABE
