PIRATE PARADE ARRRRGGGGHHHH!
The Pirate Parade was so much fun! The parent volunteers worked VERY hard to make this day a special one for the children & school despite the rain!! They worked day and night. If you worked as a volunteer or know someone who did please know the teachers and students are very grateful! I know I am . Here are a few of the pictures of Room 15 having some fun & helping the school at the same time!
FARNHAM'S MUSIC CONCERT
Room 15 was the opening act at Farnham's 4-5th grade music concert .
Music clearly moves E.H. & his dancing
brought so much joy, smiles and warmth to the show.
Thank you Room 15 and E.H. You moved me. I am so proud of all who attended .
That took courage!

NASA Field Trip!
Leprechaun Trap Engineering/Math AR party!
In preparation for trap day, we studied simple machines and played 2 iPad Apps- Monster Physics and Casey Contraptions. Then the ''stuff' started arriving for the trap building. The rest is pure teamwork engineering/math fun! The children had to plan, use a small leprechaun to ensure it could fit through doors, go down slides, through tubes etc. They had to negotiate & problem solve using the classroom materials to trap the pesky leprechaun. Once finished they had to measure the trap's dimensions and give a detailed presentation to the class on how they expected their traps to work. Sadly however, on March 17th, all the traps were sprung, gold and bait gone. However, we had a nice leprechaun this year and he ( she?) left a note & a lucky rabbit's foot behind for each child. We were also given a fun Measure the Leprechaun math activity.
Better luck next time room 15!

Compliments for Valetines
Valentine bags expanded on our compliment challenge for February. The children wrote a specific compliment on each classmate's bag. It was sweet watch all the smiles as they read their bags.
A Field Trip to Foothill
The 4th & 5th grade classes went to Foothill College and enjoyed their free Physics Show. (Free...can you believe it!?!). Here are some pictures of that fun day that inspired the next AR party ( check out the science tab)

A heartfelt good - bye to Aumornai on our last day of Bawsi with her.

ANGRY BIRD AR PARTY 1 & Marshmallow catapults!
When the children collectively reach specific goals in reading and AR quiz points we have a thematic AR party. Because we were working on our Language Arts Parts of speech unit using Angry Birds ( see work under Language Arts tab) we decided to incorporate the Angry Bird theme and catapult science fun for our 1st AR party.
