Last week our 4th and 5th graders completed the Math RICAS testing....PHEW!! They worked hard, showing great effort and never gave up. We are so proud of all the effort they put into this.
The students took their time and focused on getting to the finish line.
Wax Museum in Progress for the 4th Graders
The 4th graders are getting ready for their wax museum. There is still much to do, but they are up to the challenge. Poster boards are being created, speeches are being memorized and they are writing up biographies of famous Rhode Islanders. They are really doing a nice job. I am so excited to see they come to life on May 10th.
We are also continuing with our Poetry unit. The children are creating all sorts of poems and will be compiling a poetry book. We will also be holding a Poetry Slam, where the children will choose one of the poems that they wrote and share it out to their classmates.
On Friday we said good-bye to our student teacher, Ms. Lopez. She spent her last semester with us in preparation of becoming an educator. We wish her all the best in her endeavor. The children wanted to do something special for her and they performed some special talents on Friday afternoon.
Our 5th Grade Stars
On Thursday night the 5th graders came to life in our Annual Wax Museum. They put on quite an event and made us all so proud. The teachers and families were blown away by the spectacular presentations; speeches, and costumes. Many compliments were given and we are all so proud of them.
We had Celebrities, like Ellen Degeneres and Diana Ross. We also had members of the Royal family like Kate Middleton and Princess Diana.
Audrey Hepburn was in our presence along with many sports figures like, the legendary Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Christiano Rinaldo and David Beckham.
Other sports figures included, David Ortiz, Drew Brees, Mia Hamm and Robert Gronkowski. Our list continues with Carrie Fisher and Nikki Haley. The actual Nikki Haley tweeted out on her twitter account. We were so proud.
