Our last book report for the year went home last week. Students should be choosing a book and letting me know their choice by tomorrow. The project is due Monday, June 1st. Below are the forms in case you have lost them… but the collage should be done on cardstock because the materials might be too heavy for paper.
Our very last History Project Overview went home last week. These are due Wednesday, June 3rd, not June 2nd. Sorry for the mistake! Please help your child choose a project early and start working on it at least a week in advance. Below are the forms to print out for the project:
We worked on some figure sculptures last Friday. Students learned how to shape pipe cleaners into a stick figure body and then give it shape and texture by adding tin foil. Their task was to create an action figure that showed movement. They chose to make figures that were surfers, skateboarders, cheerleaders, superheroes, football players, soccer players, basketball players, etc… This week we wrote about the sculptures in our journals and practiced drawing figures in motion on paper.
Q4 Science Projects are due Wednesday, May 28th. Below is a link to the form in case you have lost the one I sent home.
I have some extra foam balls if anyone needs some!
Two students were chosen for showing Kindness throughout the month of April. Those students are: Bryce McCole and Isobel Matthews.
Congratulations!!! They will eat lunch with Mrs. Jones on Thursday, May 7th.
These were absolutely ADORABLE!! I always love seeing the creativity that comes out of this project. Students really came through with some original ideas and characters. The books came to life in our classroom. Enjoy!
On Friday, we went to the Museum of Man to see their Egypt and Maya Exhibits. We had an awesome Guided Tour where students got to see real mummies, look at artifacts from both cultures and learn about the geography and clothing. Ask your child which animals were feared most in the Nile River… they both have big teeth and strong jaws!
After our tour, we were able to wander around the museum and check out the exhibits on Evolution, Technology and Monsters! We even got to have a bit of fun in the Egyptian Playroom.
Another amazing Grandparents Day last week. It is always so nice to see students proudly showing their guests around OTA campus. This year, grades K-2 performed for our special guests with some songs they have been practicing in Choir. It was a truly wonderful day! Thanks to everyone who helped make it possible! Check out the videos and pictures below…
Our First Grade Finalists looked fantastic. They got all dressed up for the Final Poetry Contest and did an outstanding job! Dash Weaver was able to earn 2nd Place Overall reading Shakespeare. Congrats to all the contestants!
