What we have been doing in Room 11...

11/29/2015

 
We have been busy in Room 11! We wrapped up many different things in class prior to our Thanksgiving break. We finished up our math unit on place value. We will be moving on to shapes and time next. We also wrapped up our non fiction writing. The kids wrote some amazing "expert books". To celebrate the end of our mon-fiction reading unit, we became "tour guides"! We brought our listeners on a journey through the topics that we had been studying. We even made posters of our learning and shared these with some first grade friends!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sports Day Fundraiser!

11/21/2015

 
Today the students of Burr School participated in a "Sports Day" fundraiser. For a $1.00 donation, they were able to wear any sports gear. We had local HK teams represented, college teams represented and professional teams represented. All funds raised are being donated to Emma Becker, a fourth grader from HES battling cancer. I am so proud of my caring class!

The scientists of Room 11 are hard at work observing our soils. They are using their senses to make observations!

It's great to be green...

11/16/2015

 
We had a great assembly today to kick off our recycling initiative here at Burr School.  The children were dressed in green and were eager to learn how we can help.  A representative from All Waste came in to speak with us about the things that can be recycled in the cafeteria and in the classroom.  There will be a poster and slogan contest too.  We are also looking for someone to be a representative on our Waste Management team.  If your child is interested have them fill out the form!

We had a cozy, fun day wearing our jammie's at school today! Even though we were super comfy, we were still hard workers. The kids have been hard at work comparing three digit numbers, reading non-fiction books (and learning the lingo) and writing "expert"books! We have also enjoyed this beautiful November weather.

Happy November!
