Journey to the Underworld

Well, finally! The project I had first planned to post is ready! Again, this song was written by Mr. B, Mrs. Waters, Mrs. Shabaga and myself with the help of singer- songwriter Harmony Parent! Although introduced to students 2 weeks ago, when we concluded our study of Ancient Egypt, students request to hear the song daily and now families can hear it at home. Enjoy!

We look forward to meeting with Harmony again when she visits our class in May to work with Team 24 to write and preform an original song integrated into our study of the Growth and Changes in Plants.

Harmony also worked with Mrs. A. Lockhart, Mrs. Marschall and Ms. Price to create a Vowel song! I am working to put together a video to post for that song as well!

This weekend, I assessed students spelling inventories, or spelling check-up, as I refer to it with the students. The spelling inventory allows me to see which word patterns students have mastered and those they need to focus on. Through this assessment, I was able to group students in homogeneous teams to learn and practice their appropriate developmental word pattern (short vowels, digraphs/blends, long vowel and complex vowel patterns). New teams will start this week. These will be the final teams of the school year!

Hope everyone enjoyed the warm weather this weekend!
