NOUNS AWAY!!! Today we set up 6 stations to review and improve our use of nouns. Each group had a poster, magazines, advertisements, and newspapers to use to make a collage about nouns....common people, places, things, as well as proper people, places, and things. After each goup rotated through we shared our posters. By the end everyone was "nouned-out!!!"

Voyage of the Mayflower

Check out the student's journey "Across the Wide Dark Sea." Students recreated the voyage of the MAYFLOWER and wrote a journal account as if they were aboard the Mayflower.

Turkey Talk

Did you ever wonder how a turkey feels when they wake-up on Thanksgiving morning? Well our

students wrote a story from the turkey's point of view. Will Tom or Tina turkey be Thanksgiving dinner? You'll have to come check out the stories for some "turkey talk."

Our thanks to Mrs. Startare (art teacher) and our wonderful PTA for putting together such an awesome fieldtrip to FALLINGWATER. Fallingwater is a house designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1934. The house, built partly over a waterfall, is more breathtaking in person than one could ever imagine. I think this was the best fieldtrip that I have been able to attend. I definitely want to go back soon.
