Realistic Fiction Presentations

Abby reading to the class...

Each student read what they had been working on that followed the plotline. Each received feedback about their characters or problem.

This was a good and difficult writing assignment with a lot of revisions and gaining useful communication skills.

A fun way for the kids to experience their last full day of 4th grade!

...The more you play with language, the more fun it is-- kids are super focused in this nonverbal activity...

Group Thinking and Sharing!

ELA in Action-- Charades-- Picture 1 of 3

3 groups as we wrap up the year--excellent storytelling and cooperation!

The Play is about to start!!

Thanks Ms. Fisher for such a professional and fun experience for all the MCS kids!

Docent Sandra Kelly does interesting storytelling about the McConnell Mansion-- a great day of learning!!

🌠StarArt🌃 with Ms. Jones☄🌌

The kids had a treat today as they learned about the galaxies of our universe in the mobile planetarium ---art and science!

Thanks to the city for allowing all the MCS kids the use of this wonderful 'space' too! (Get it!!😉)

Measuring and Converting--Garden Plot Math

The kids have been working together really well. Kyleigh and Katie are great examples of being tuned-in students!

Mini Field Trip yesterday for a Science Connection in Morning Meeting-- It all starts with a Question...How many plots are there in the City's Community Garden?

Hugo and Taya listening to each other about their Realistic Fiction Story.

All the kids have learned so much about how to work with a partner and how that gets them to think more deeply about their own work. It is good to see this growth.

Abby and Felicity going over their Realistic Fiction Story Elements

Sooo...this is what one month of plastic looks like. The kids were guessing 1000 lbs +/-!! And, this was April's total--393 pounds.

Saturday, this load will be dropped off at the Recycle Center.

The kids empty out 7 boxes each day. They all get a chance to be a Trex Collector-- and they love doing it!

Thank you 4th Graders!!

Go MCS!

Riveted by the Talent Show!

The kids loved watching and there were quite a few that performed from our class! 🎉🤸‍♀️🎤🎶

Wednesday is when we get the Newspaper each week!

This is a great picture of kids immersed in different parts of the text material. They were assigned an article to read about Mattel's new Barbie that has Down Syndrome. We discussed the importance of having toys that include all types of people-- just like the real world.
