A big topic of study for our knowledge and skills lessons has been proper nouns. Students have been working hard to identify the difference between common and proper nouns as well as correctly write proper nouns. We have talked a lot recently about how proper nouns always start with capital letters, and are always the names of places.
Here is a list of proper nouns the class has come up with and pictures they have drawn about proper nouns as well.
Today was a wonderful way to end the semester. Children watched Rabbi Schusterman make olive oil from the olive press in honor of Chanukah, they got to hang out with fifth grade and complete fun math games, we played Chanukah bingo and so much more!
I hope everyone has an amazing winter break! We will see you January 5, 2026!
During our knowledge (reading) lessons, we are learning all about social and solitary insects. Students worked today using information they know and have learned recently. Students used a variety of colored paper, scissors, glue and other art materials to create an insect. They made sure to include all the parts of an insect including the antennae, thorax, abdomen, and six legs. After they finished making their insects, students filled out a questionnaire about their insects as well!
This week, we are taking a pause on our curriculum and working on our grammar skills. We are working on punctuation, capitalization, nouns...
