This classroom is ready for Monday. A fresh coat of paint and the covering of a yellow wall and blue cabinets has made the space look entirely different. Thanks to Hunsberger parent Morgan for helping identify the best color for the wall!
The families at Hunsberger put together an extremely impressive Field Day. Students had 10 different rotations with an opportunity to spend 10 minutes at each one. A pretty terrific day to end a pretty terrific year.
Posted are pictures of our visit to Grizzly Creek Ranch. It proved to be a terrific day with a host of great experiences.
We finished a math lesson. Then we completed a science activity. Then we took a break to create Valentine boxes and share treats with our classmates. (Thank you families for being so generous and sharing so many Valentines with the students.)
We completed our first classroom auction of 2024. Thanks to all the companies who are supporting this outcome and ensuring the students have items to bid on.
Thank you to all the families who helped with the 2023 holiday celebration.
One of my favorite classroom traditions is the holiday card and board game White Elephant exchange. I want to express my gratitude to all the families who contributed by bringing in their favorite games, ensuring the continuation of this tradition and leading to an afternoon of fun.
On Monday, our classroom visited Judge Scott Pearson’s courtroom to put on a mock trial, hear from the court’s bailiffs and participate in the Ask An Inmate program. It proved to be a terrific experience in which students learned more about the judicial process and the difference between “getting to go to court” and “having to go to court.”
Thanks to all the parents who shared pictures with me, so that I could post them to the blog.
Thank you to the families who helped with our Halloween celebration on Tuesday. We had four stations and plenty for students to do, after changing into costumes.
On Monday and continuing into Tuesday, we integrated an engineering activity, a science lesson, a reading passage and an Discovery Education video into our learning around the holiday.
Students have been studying arthropods and this week was a chance to visit Arrow Creek Park and look for them. We shook trees and bushes, lifted rocks, and used aspirators, all in an effort to see what we could find and keep track of how many of a specific group we could find.
Ultimately, this information will be shared with Truckee Meadows Parks.
