Meet the Dictionary!



A resource that we have used quite frequently this year is the dictionary. To celebrate this great book, we made a Do Ink video celebrating the dictionary. There are many parts!



Enjoy!







We created this movie on the ipad using a green screen, Do Ink, iMovie, and the camera roll.










An online dictionary has many of the same features!

What are some words that you have looked up?

Please, help us learn your word by leaving us an

Science: Meet a Hedgehog and a Snake

Image
Written by Mrs. Yollis, Elie, Nolan, Rose, Brianna, Dylan B., and Josh As part of our animal adaptation science unit, Beverly Critcher from Wildlife Experience brought two wild animals to Mrs. Yollis' class for careful scientific observation. She brought a hedgehog and a gopher snake. Wildlife Experience is a non-profit wildlife education organization that brings native and exotic animals to schools and teaches children about the importance of our natural world.

Sean taught us a funny way to remember the Order of Operations  M y    D ear      A unt    S ally  (x,       ÷ ,      +,      -) In class, we wrote stories for this equation:   2 x 5 ÷ 5 Tabitha and Asha's Order of Operation problem: Photo by Mrs. Yollis  Asha and Tabitha have FIVE apples each.

School's Out For Summer!

Today was the last day of school!  Yesterday, we had an end-of-the-year pizza party!  We had fun signing yearbooks. Photo by Tabitha's mom Everyone played a bucket toss game! Today, we continued to sign yearbooks. Look at the line for Coach Felicity! We celebrated an incredible literacy milestone. The class read 12 million words this year!  Way to go! Photo by Andrea Testa That's right, 12,000,000 words!   But, like all good things...they must come to an end.  When the final grain of sand fell through the hour glass, it was time to say goodbye. A final group hug before we departed for our summer vacations! It has been my pleasure to be on this learning journey with you!  I look forward to seeing you in the fall!
