When it's not raining, we like to practice our spelling and vocabulary words outside in the sun! Sometimes we play spelling and vocabulary games like "Sparkle" or use sidewalk chalk!
For Earth Day, Dr. O'Brien came in to teach a special lesson on creating a strong argument. The Navigators watched "WALL-E" before spring break and then analyzed the movie for environmental themes. Dr. O'Brien remarked that he "enjoyed working with a class of such enthusiastic and passionate learners!"
We have been working on some cool art projects lately: Georgia O'Keefe/Acrylics with Ms. Cathy, experimenting with mixing secondary colors, Earth Day messages with oil pastels, popsicle stick crafts/puppets and of course "your choice," which launched "Loch Ness Monster with Removable Top Hat and Cape" and
"Snowman on Pizza."
"Snowman on Pizza."
We were happy to see the end of ITBS testing so we could get back to hands-on learning! The Navigators were extremely focused during testing. I was so proud of them! Strangely enough, several students commented that they thought the testing
was kinda fun sometimes!
