Lynn Plourde Visit

To celebrate reading in March we had Maine author, Lynn Plourde, visit us at Rowe.  In our classroom we read several of her books and made crafts or wrote about the books.  Here's what we did:

Our Pajama Day!

Problem and Solutions

A Mountain of Mittens

Our Dino Pets

Moose drawings

Lynn reading her book "You're Wearing THAT to School?!"

Writing Celebration

Last week we had a writing celebration with Mrs. Wood's fourth graders.  We just finished our HOW TO writing unit.  Boys and girls wrote How To Learn, How To Make a Snowman, How To Ride a Scooter.

Chinese New Year

We celebrated an early Chinese New Year with JoJo and her mom, Nina.  Nina is the Chinese teacher at the High School.   Throughout the week we sampled dumplings, learned how to sing the Chinese New Year song, and learned a lot about Chinese culture!  Every day boys and girls received a gift from JoJo and her family.  They got a lantern, Chinese knot and flag, book, and a special red envelope with Chinese money!!

Snowflakes

This week we learned how to make snowflakes.  We used coffee filters and after folding them several times boys and girls cut through the sides and tip.  Then we opened the filter to reveal a beautiful snowflake.  My son, Andrew, and his friend, Chris, used the snowflakes in a window display at the school store at OHCHS.

Puzzles

Some more pictures of puzzles.  Our class LOVES doing puzzles.  Do you get puzzles out to do at home?!  It's a great indoor/non-electronic activity!!

Gingerbread Houses

Before Christmas we had a great time decorating and eating our Gingerbread Houses.  Everyone was so creative!!

Merry Christmas from Mrs. Fleming's Class
