...in our new classroom was really smooth and fun! This week we worked on all sorts of things, and went on a few trips. We had the opportunity to travel to both the Helen Day Art Center and the Barre Opera House! At the Art Center we studied and analyzed student choice based art from other schools in Vermont, and in Barre, we watched a theatrical adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder's life. Both of these opportunities allowed students to experience art of different forms in different venues. Our trip to Barre also opened some conversation about the difference between books and plays! All students noticed some details that were omitted from the play, and students unanimously shared that they preferred the book to the play!
We also have moved forward with our work in writing. We are working on a piece of writing to showcase all of the skills that we have acquired throughout the year. Students will be writing to inform, tell a story, and express an opinion about one topic. The topics range from Patrice Bergeron to swimming! These pieces will be published and ready to bring home during the last week of school.
As stated earlier our move to the new classroom was smooth and seamless, and while we still have a few kinks to work out, we are adjusting nicely to our new spot. Please remember, that at the end of the day, if you are picking up we are in the new section of the school...while you are here, peek into some of the new spots, the library is especially cool!
Have a restful and refreshing weekend,
Dave
