End of the Year

I cannot believe that you are all going off to fifth grade! I put this video together of pictures from this year. Thank you for the wonderful year and I hope that you have a great summer!



End of the Year

Camp Bournedale Meeting

Can you believe it's almost time for 5th grade?! A big trip in 5th grade is going to Camp Bournedale. There will be an informational meeting for parents this Thursday at 6PM at Francis Wyman. If you missed the flier that went home, please let me know and I'll send home another flier.

Chicks are Here!

Last night we had four of our eggs hatch! We are patiently awaiting the arrival of the last four chicks. 

Our Trash, Our Choice

Wendy and Sean from the Science Center are helping us learn about how the choices we make about trash, recycling, and composting impact our environment and world. They came in to present their show "Our Trash, Our Choice" to us today. Check out their blog for some more resources and follow up questions that you can ask your fourth grade student about!

LATEST NEWS OF ROOM 229

Our bunny olive is still refusing to come out of her cage. Many superstitions say she is a vampire or a spy or a vampire-spy. We put a rug next to her cage to try to get her to come out. Also, you can send your children with 2 or 3 small pieces of fresh fruits and vegetables for olive to eat. You should especially bring (if you're going to) dark, leafy greens like spinach. She really loves apples, too. Our bunny olive, as conclusioned by the students, is most likely a spy sent by the FBI. Please remember that this is written by a student. Dun dun!

Animal Behavior

We are so lucky that Ms. P. was able to come to Memorial today to talk about animal behaviors. We learned about instinct, learned behaviors, and what a stimulus is. She brought in Bandit, a one-eyed possum, and Scout, an owl that has imprinted on humans.
