TWAS for the Week of Oct 17-21

Hello Friends and Families of Room 73!

Here is what we did This Week At School

In social studies, we learned how to create, share and edit a Google Presentation. We were separated into groups based on which country we were most interested in. The students chose between Tunisia, India, Ukraine, and Peru.

Monster Descriptive Writing
This week we began to form our descriptive writing paragraphs. We used a Hamburger to see what parts we needed to make one big juicy paragraph.
We can't wait to show you our monsters on Wednesday!

Fire Drill and Evacuation
This week we had a fire drill and an practice evacuation. The students did a great job, following instructions and walking to the church safely.

Fun Lunch
This week for lunch we had Boston Pizza!

Typing Games
In Daily 5, one of our stations is now Typing Games. This will help students improve their typing speed, which will also help us out with the creation of our Google Slides.
Here is the link:

In gym we did soccer practice and drills with Mr. S! It was a ton of fun

Monster Math
We started on another project, Place Value Monsters with Ms. Thomas' class. As Halloween is fast approaching our classroom definitely matches the season!

Ketchup
Students had many opportunities this week to 'catch up' on activities and work that they needed more time to complete. This included Monster writing, math books, daily 5 writing, and spelling.
