Contraction Surgery

This week Dr. Taylor and Dr. Wells performed their annual contraction surgery.  The students have been learning about contraction in reading.  The students were introduced to the patients: Mr. He Is, Ms. Do Not and Mrs. We Are.  The doctors modeled how to perform surgery on the patients and create contractions from the patients.  

Dr. Wells and Dr. Taylor perform surgery.  Almost lost this patient!!

Mr. He Is came to the doctors to get his "I" removed

Then the students then became the doctors and they performed surgery on patients of their own.

Our practicum student, Ms. Ferry, did a fun writing lesson with the class.  The students viewed a video of Olaf singing about what happens in the summer.  Then the students wrote about what it would be like if they were a snowman.

We finished up Topic 6 in math.  You should have reviewed and signed your child's math test.  Overall the students performed very well on the test.  Our next unit will be working on word problems using both addition and subtraction.

In science this week, we made another video for our UNLESS contest.  We hung posters about water and conserving water for everyone in the school to see and learn about our cause.

The students took the winter MAP testing this week in both reading and math.  This time we used our classroom Chromebooks!!  All of the scores went up from the fall which was absolutely wonderful!!  Great job class!

Remember school is closed on Monday.  Have a great long weekend!!
