FACT vs OPINION

In class we have been talking about Facts and Opinions. We are learning to recognize the difference between the two. Today we started to play a short game where students have to decide whether or not each statement is a fact or an opinion.

Play along so that you can see the video at the end.

Word Cloud Art

For the past few weeks we have been focusing on all of the wonderful gifts of Creation. We learned that much of what we see was created by God for us to enjoy, respect and care for. To integrate technology, we used a Word Cloud function from the website ABCYA. The students worked in partners and had the opportunity to create a list of words related with Creation.

Take a look!

World Down Syndrome Day - MARCH 21ST

Please join in celebrating World Down Syndrome Day on MONDAY MARCH 21st by coming to school with wild and wacky socks! I'd like to play a game by photographing eveyone's socked feet and then we'll play a game to see who can guess who is wearing which socks later on in the week.
