Readers Theater

This week we began our fun readers theater.  We have been practicing three different plays.  Slurping Beauty, Goldilocks and the Three Bullfrogs and Rafunzel.  The students have directed their own plays and created both the backgrounds and the props. This is just a fun end-of-year activity and hopefully we will get to perform in front of some of our school mates.

We continued to review in math.  We played some fun math games on the smartboard including a basketball shot game.  I impressed the students with my "fact power" by achieving a high score. This game can be found here: Basketball Shot Game .  If you have access to a computer at home, this is a fun way to practice facts.  Just search for math interactive games.  There are so many options to choose from.  This helps makes learning fun.

We met with our Book Buddies this week to complete a Humphrey quiz.  Thank you to Mrs. Devoy for creating the quiz.  The quiz was created using QR codes and the students used the iPads to read the questions.

One of the highlights this week was the chess tournament hosted by Mrs. Miller.  She taught all of the students how to play chess and then began a chess tournament with them.  They have had a lot of fun playing and competing with one another.

One more week to go..... Have a great weekend.  Hopefully the rain has passed and we will have some nice weekend weather.
