A few weeks ago we started our brand new fairy tale unit. The unit began with a full immersion of reading different classical fairy tales in order to get familiar with the various story lines and the sequence of events a fairy tale unfolds in. In this unit the students have been working on creating their own fairy tale adaptation of the classic tales Billy Goat’s Gruff or Little Red Riding Hood. This past week the students have been working so hard on drafting their own adaptation by adding their own twist to the classical tales! Students have been going through the steps of the writing cycle and their talent has truly shined through. This upcoming week the students will be working on publishing their fairy tale using IPads through an application called Shadow Puppet. We are very excited to see the students’ creative masterpieces come alive.
This past week the students filled the school’s brain cell collector to it’s nose. The school held a celebration for our “SMART” students called Minute to Win it. Taking after the American prime time TV game show, the students had only a minute to complete a variety of challenges! It was a well-deserved school wide celebration and everyone had a blast.
In math we have began Unit 5 and have been diving deep into concepts of multiplication and division. Students have been working on developing strategies to solve multiplication and division story problems and they have even been creating their own story problems! We look forward to working more closely with these new concepts and investigating different strategies to help us as mathematicians.

Please remember that Sara and Kristyn will be soloing this week. If you have any information that you need to pass on regarding pick-ups and dismissal please send it to them at their school email addresses. Liz and Jess will be working on planning and curriculum for fourth grade this week. It's hard to believe we are already thinking about that!
Think Spring!
