Students were exploring how adding black to a color makes the color a shade darker and adding white to a color makes the color a shade lighter while painting their “Blue Dog” project.

Creating Color
We recently finished a unit in science called “Creating Color.” This unit was a lot of fun and at times very messy. Today I asked the students to write 3 things they learned about color during this unit. All students demonstrated exceptional learning through their writing; it was such a pleasure to read. Below are some samples of what students chose to write about; typed exactly as was written.

There’s No Time Like The Present!
Today we enjoyed reading the story “Squirrel’s New Year’s Resolution” to help us better understand what a resolution is and how to make a resolution. We concluded that a resolution is a promise you make to yourself to be better or to help others.
With a good understanding of what a resolution is, the students embarked on writing their own resolutions for the new year of 2012. I have included some examples below and as you will see, the student resolutions vary in theme from school to home and community; they are very thoughtful and personal to each student.
“I resolve to help my Mom more.” “I resolve to be nicer to my sister.” ”I resolve to, when I see garbage I will pick it up.”
“I resolve to exchange my books everyday.” “I resolve to teach others to draw.” ”I resolve to practice my reading.”
We would love to share the rest of our resolutions with you, so the next time you are at the school, please check out our resolutions posted on our lockers.
Do you have a New Year’s Resolution you would like to share with our class? Please send us a comment.
I have recently added a new page on our top menu titled: “Journey to Reading“
Please visit this page often as I will be posting comprehension strategies that we have been working on in class, as well as the progress we are making with The Daily Five and various reading strategies. At times there will be videos and photos posted celebrating the successes we have experienced during our journey to becoming capable readers.
We recently watched the attached video links in class and discussed the importance of making smart and safe decisions while online.
Professor Garfield on Internet Safety
The student outcomes for teaching digital citizenship in relation to habit 2 are outlined in the “I Can” statements below:
I can make smart decisions by never giving out my personal information online.
I can always ask my parents before I go online.
I can ask my parents before filling out forms online.
I can promise not to meet someone in person who I’ve met online without my parents’ permission.
Our class recently finished a math unit on patterns. To demonstrate what we learned throughout the unit, students built animal patterns and described their pattern using a variety of academic vocabulary they learned throughout the unit. We would like to share our learning with you through a digital storybook. To access the book, click on the link below.
