Guidance with Ms. Kyle is very busy. We are talking about respect and the importance of respect in all areas of our life. We especially love the music that we get to listen to. I imagine the kids can sing it for family members on request:)

We had a busy morning with our Veteran’s Day assembly. Zach, Josie and Thayer each had a relative who was able to celebrate with us. The chorus sounded great, all the hard work is paying off. Zach did a stellar job reading his Veteran’s Day essay. Nice Job!
If you click on the blog photo it will enlarge and you will see the actual picture taken. I really did not clip your head Zach:).

Merci beacoup to Nicole Ritchie who came in and taught us a bit about French culture today. She started our time with her by sharing a delicious snack of baguette, cookies and figs. While we snacked she showed us pictures of famous French sites and shared stories of her travels. We made a fun ball and cup game, sang a French song and learned a dance.

What fun! We’ve been constructing clay relief maps of the United States this week. Students started with flat plains and built up the plateaus and mountains and then topped the map off with the highest peaks.
We’ve also been practicing the proper use and punctation of quotations in our writing. Today students held written conversations with each other and then performed them as short skits for the class. They were VERY funny!

Music was a busy class. We learned a dance from Hungary. We were in a circle while we danced so we had to be careful of our neighbors. It was called the Kontac.

Our completed Western Hemisphere projects are up on the bulletin board in the hallway outside of our classroom. Don’t they look fantastic?
Today we used distance scales to calculate air distances among many capital cities around the globe. Our furthest distance? Sydney, Australia, at over 10,000 miles from us here in Maine!

This afternoon we were treated to a visiting teacher! Mrs. Jacobs came by to show us some of her topographical maps and then led us in an online exploration. Students located their homes and our school on both aerial and topo maps.
Afterward, we took a few minutes to release our painted lady butterflies. The day was perfect – bright sun, light breeze – and our butterflies never looked back.
