Ms. Stewart's Class

This is a multiage third and fourth grade classroom. The purpose of our blog is to share our learning and help parents be informed about some of our goings on.

Thank you for all your wonderful contributions to the Valentine's Day Snack Buffet last week. Students clearly did a lot of work on their Valentines, and the food was delicious. We had a nice party; thanks for your help with that.

School is going along nicely. We are working hard on projects and research about Africa. Our workshops ended last week. This Wednesday we will be setting up for our AFRICA OPEN HOUSE which will be Thursday morning from 8:00-8:45. We hope you will be able to come. We will end the event by singing two African songs.

Self discipline and responsible behavior have been topics we continue to revisit. Students are typcially very well behaved in this core classroom, when I am here. Things go less smoothly when I am away. We have been discussing this as a class, reflecting on and analyzing successful behaviors, unsuccessful behaviors and why self control matters. The greatest news is that I was in a meeting this afternoon, Ms. Simpson was here, and apparently all went well. They can do it!

In science we have continued our study of pendulums. Tomorrow students will design pendulum/bowling pin set ups.
