Bully Free Day!

Tomorrow is our Bully Free Day. This will be celebrated all over the nation to remind everyone how important it is to stop bullying. Please have your child wear their school colors or purple. The teachers will be wearing purple Anit-Bullying tshirts tomorrow, and each student will receive a purple ribbon to wear around their wrists.

The students have really enjoyed working in Learning Centers over the past two weeks! This is something that will be utilized more frequently as the year continues. The students really impressed me with how well they can work in groups. Here are some pictures of our Learning Centers.
In the "Success Seekers" Center, the students focused on Synonyms and Antonyms.
The "Grammar Guru" center is always geared toward the Grammar concept of the week. In this picture, the students are practicing abbreviations.
The students read leveled readers and answer the "Think Critically" questions at the "Teacher Town" center.
The "Vocabulary Voyager" center is used to master the vocabulary words of the week. The students warm up with a review worksheet and then challenge each other with the vocabulary game board!
"Sidekick Readers" is a center used to read over the story of the week and answer questions that similar to questions that will be seen on the comprehension test.

   
"Technology Tacklers", also known as the computer center" is always the students favorite center! The students work on interactive website that focus on every concept of the week.
