Update from Ms. R

It was a short but busy week in Room 5! From writing poems to folding paper geometric models, from celebrating Chinese New Year to creating gear trains using bottle caps, the children learned a lot (and had a lot of fun too!)

Thank you to Ms. Johnson, the music/drama/dance teacher for our class. She was the third guest on "The Room 5 Interview Show" and was interviewed by Dalton and Oleseh. This episode can be found at the end of this week's news posting.

The homework for this week is "The Paper Bag Story Challenge". Our class talked about how creativity is about solving problems and the problem in this challenge is to write a story and somehow use the small paper bag (sent home with your child on Thursday) in the presentation of the story. We talked about how the bag can hold things, have stuff drawn, written or glued on it or even be cut up. I know there will be lots of creative ideas to share when these stories are handed in! This homework is due next Friday February 3).
