The 3/4/5 team has been busy learning and growing on our side of the building. Highlights from last week were definitely cooking and baking for the Harvest Festival and our all-school hike! Mrs. Quinn’s class welcomed two new members to their classroom. They will be caring for these baby turtles until spring and researching turtles and their development.
For Social and Emotional Learning, Mrs. Garland’s class is learning about the Worry Woos. “The Worry Woo program is an evidence-based curriculum that includes props for teaching Social-Emotional Learning.” Mrs. Quinn’s class continues to work on developing strategies to show kindness. Our current focus is on ensuring we support (not hinder) others' learning.
For Math, the third-grade students are encountering the concept of area, relating the area of rectangles to multiplication, and solving problems involving area. The
fourth-graders are using factors to find or create equivalent fractions. While the fifth-graders have started a new Unit focused on Multiplying Fractions.
During Social Studies, the 3rd/4th graders are learning about weather in NH. Individually, they are writing opinion essays about which season is best in our state. Please ask their opinion on the best season in this area.
The 5th graders enjoyed a week-long Biome study with Jamie from the Harris Center.
