Our Book Buddies

We love having our Book Buddies come to read with us the first Tuesday of every month! Our buddies are from the AP English class and are 11th and 12th graders. Their teacher is Ms. Donatelli.

We get ready for our buddies by choosing our books and thinking about where we want to sit.

There aren't enough buddies to go around so we have to double and triple up. But we still love it!

Each month we get to read with a different buddy from the week before. Until we start all over again!


City Scapes - Art with Mrs. Waugh

This class absolutely loves to draw! I showed them an example of what our winter city scape would look like and they went to work!

How Habitats Can Change

We are learning about animals and their habitats. We have been talking about what kinds of things can change or affect a habitat and what that means for the animals. This class constantly impresses me with their creativity and enthusiasm for showing me what they know! What's even more cool than them regurgitating the information that I have given them is that they often take those ideas and come up with their own scenarios! A teacher's dream! Take a look at their amazing pictures.

What happens when there is too much algae...
What happens when there's a forest fire...

What happens when a there is a flood...

What happens when there is over-fishing...

What happens when the coral reef is polluted...

What happens when there's a forest fire in the mountains...

Another flood scenario

And more flooding
