What's New?

Grade 3/4 worked really hard on a fun multimedia project which was co-taught with Mr. Parshall in music. Here's the results:

Week of November 5th:

I had a great time being here for my second co-teaching week. This week was all about the Ladybug Picture Book Award. I was able to present 5 of the ten nominated books to K-2. The students were excited and engaged and I got to do one of my favorite things in talking about books. We voted on our favorites at the end of the week. It was a close race, but Woodpecker Wants a Waffle by Steve Breen won out.

Week of September 25th, 2017: What an exciting week for HES. It's been a whirlwind of experiences as I've begun my co-teaching weeks. Here's some of the stuff we've done:

• Grade 3/4 has been studying recycling. It's been wonderful to see how focused and engaged they've been on the unit, and the work they've done to design recycling bins and create informative posters has been excellent.
• I had the privilege of filling in for Mr. Parshall, the music teacher on Monday. I talked with the students about how rhythm forms the basis for nearly every song we listen to, regardless of genre. We got to sing and share our interests in music, and any day where I get to play guitar to students is a good day in my book.
• 1st grade has been studying Monarch Butterflies in their class. They've even hatched a few in their class,
