What Have You Been Doing Since We've Been Back to School???





First, we stopped by Mrs. Osner’s kindergarten class to see what they have been up to since all of the students returned from break. She told us that they have started learning to write their first and last names. They are working on adding and subtracting. They are also working on their sight words, reading, and spelling. They even spelled a few words for us. Good job students!

After we went to Mrs. Osner’s class, we came back upstairs and talked to Ms. Speck about what the students are doing in her 4th Grade class. She told us that they are learning about Colonial America. In math they are learning their fractions. We even got to interview two of her students, Anna Livingston and Austin Bell. Let’s see what they said!

First, we asked Anna what her favorite subject is in class right now and she said math is her favorite subject. “I like multiplying and adding the most,” Anna told us. We also asked her what the most interesting thing in class is to her and she told us that she likes learning about the Buffalo Jump. The Buffalo Jump is a Native American Story.
Next we interviewed Austin Bell. We asked him what his favorite subject was and like Anna, he told us math. “I like learning fractions and doing subtraction,” Austin told us. He also told us that he likes learning about the Buffalo Jump.

The last place we visited was Mr. Wilmott’s 4th grade P.E. class. We asked them what they have been up to. They have been playing Four-Corner Soccer all week. They also have daily warm-ups. Their Monday warm-up is 14 push-ups. The Tuesday warm-up is 14 sit-ups. Wednesday they do 40 jumping jacks. Thursday they do 10 laps. On Friday they do 28 Mountain Climbers. Looks like he’s keeping these students busy!
