A quick reminder about other S-K blogs

The specialist teachers have blogs as well, be sure to check them out! Here are a few links: 

Monica maintains a Middle School Art blog. Check it out! 

Imogen has a blog for her classes. It can be found here. Here are some recent entries that are particularly relevant to the 5/6s: 
- les vrais?

- toi et moi

In addition to those, it can be really useful and interesting to check out the other classroom blogs. Find a list of links to those here. 


Finally, just to add some visual interest to this post, here are some maps made of my room and the middle school commons from a recent activity: 

Catching up on Feburary - Hodge Podge #1

February has been a bit of a whirlwind, what with a flurry of field trips and new projects and activities. The blog has been fallow for the last few weeks, so we're going to play catch-up with new posts over the next couple of days. 

First up, a few scenes from school from this week: 

Visitors

We had a couple of special guests today: 

Kermit the Frog (and nephew Robin) visit French class. 

This isn't a photo from last year. Summers-Knoll alum Adi's school is off today, so she elected to come visit for the day! 

Spring Trip 2014: Karenna writes about Old Fort Niagara

Our first stop on Jason and Sam’s ⅚ class Spring trip was Old Fort Niagara, in the state of New York. On the outside you couldn’t tell how many traps were lying in wait for the British, there were deep ditches, stake walls, and cannons hiding behind the small round hills. At first glance, it looks like some kind of moat, but if you take a closer look, steep ditches create numerous hills, high walls, and the tight fences prevent people who don’t know where the entrance, is from coming in.
