Reading: This week, Ms. Clementine’s class read the book All Moms and created a Mother’s Day picture. They each loved talking about their own amazing moms!

Students from Ms. Caitlin and Ms. Ellen’s classes also read All Moms, as well as How to Raise a Mom, and created a Mother’s Day picture. Ms. Lisa’s class finished reading The One and Only Ivan, then played a word/picture game.

Intermediate students practiced performing Julius Caesar. They also finished writing their summer book recommendations and then shared them aloud with the class.

Art: In Art, the students created plaster casts of their hands or engaged in free choice.

Science: This week, the students launched “rockets” with a chemical reaction of Alka-Seltzer and water in film canisters. Intermediate students also graphed and analyzed data about a fictional town’s algae bloom and fish die-off problem, determining which possible pollution sources could be responsible.
