"Alice"

Yesterday we visited the Stoneham Theater to see the production of "Alice".

Landform

Landform research in room 212.  We have been hard at work researching many different landforms.  There are so many different ways to find out about them.  Our class is working with partners to determine some important facts to include in our class Landform Book.   Today we were "Adding to the Words" and finding some "Awesome Adjectives" to extend our sentences.  

Hour of Code

"Every student should have the opportunity to learn computer science. It helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic and creativity."  (Code.org)

Mr. Schersten joined us today for a lesson on coding. Room 212 loved every second of the hour!!  We used the Lightbot App on our ipads to introduce some principles programming.   

Check out Code.org for some fun activites.  

Thank you Veterans!

   Although Thanksgiving is an important holiday this month and a time when we think about giving thanks, there is another holiday that we should give thanks.   It's Veterans Day!  We learned that Veterans Day is a day to honor those who served in the military. 

  We joined Mrs. casey's 5th grade class this afternoon and made Thank You cards for the Veterans of our country.

Box Turtle

We visited Mrs. Casey's @carriecasey 5th Grade classroom.   Their class has a visitng pet from the Butlington Science Center.  Box Turtles, Myrtle and Lulu welcomed us and let us hold them and watched them eat!  We learned that Box Turtles are endangered in Massachusetts and that they are omnivores.   Today they feasted on lettuce, tomatoes and apples.  We loved meeting our 5th Grade buddies and holding Myrtle and Lulu!
