Reader's Theater

Reader's Theater is a great way for students to build fluency and expression in their oral reading.  This group performed, "Counting at the Zoo" for our class. Stay tuned for more reader's theater in January.

The Hour of Code

It was amazing to watch these kids persevere during our Hour of Code! The app  "Lightbot" had all of our minds working hard while learning a little about what it takes to write a computer program.

Expert Books: Long Ago

We are wrapping up our study of Long Ago with Expert Books.  Each student has chosen 3-4 big ideas about life long ago to write about. (Topics include school, clothing, chores, food, etc...) They are full of so much knowledge! It is incredible to watch them WRITE, WRITE, WRITE! Once our books are complete we will create google presentations and teach others all we have learned about life long ago.

Cursive Club

During choice time we have a new "Cursive Club" for anyone interested in learning cursive. It's a big hit so far!

Reading Party...cozy fun!

Art With Claire!

Claire is such an amazing part of our team here on Kaleidoscope! She is an incredible teacher, artist, friend, warm hug and ray of sunshine! This week she did a great tree art project with the class to celebrate the season.

Mix-It-Up

We had such a GREAT time meeting our middle school mix-it-up partners! We shared 3 things we liked to do and saw that we have so much in common. Then we played games and had some laughs!
