Intermediate School News: September 5 – September 8, 2017

7th Grade

Throughout the year, 7th grade students will keep blogs about different current events and their own learning experiences. To prepare, we have started discussing digital citizenship. Students were assigned different short video clips to watch at home. The videos addressed digital footprints, cyber bullying, the workplace of the future, and real-world examples of people getting “surprised” by their own embarrassing online posts. In class, the students discussed how their assigned video connected to the concept of digital citizenship, and they created a graphic to synthesize their ideas. To culminate their learning, students read and will compose a blog post about Harvard University’s decision to rescind acceptance status to several incoming freshmen because of their online posts.

Magazine Sales

We are nearing our school wide Magazine Drive sales goal and this fundraiser will be closing out soon! We have had families ask if they can continue purchasing magazines, so we have extended paper order submissions through this Friday, September 8, and online sales have been extended through midnight Sunday, September 10.  Our final magazine prize assemblies have now been moved from Friday, September 8 to next Tuesday, September 12. If every student sells at least three more magazines by the final turn in date, we will have surpassed our goal!  This is fantastic! Please continue selling magazines.  There is still time! We are so proud of our students and all of the hard work they have put into this fundraiser.  We thank you all for your support and excitement throughout this sale.

3rd Grade

Third grade students practiced mental math addition strategies using Baiboard app on their iPads. They worked problems, participated in discussion and presented their steps in solving various problems to classmates.

 

 The third grade classes have been studying a unit on Map Skills. What a fun time making paper mache globes.  As you can see they have the whole word in their hands.  

 

4th Grade

4th grade FUSE students practiced their weekly spelling words with a roll and spell number cube activity.

 

4th grade FUSE writing students worked in partners to sort and identify examples of complete sentences, sentence fragments and run-on sentences.

 

 

Music Enrichment

A HAND CLAPPING, PARTNER DANCING GAME !

Making music involves more than the voice or fingers playing an instrument;

a child learning about music has to tap into multiple skill sets, often simultaneously. 

 

Second Grade

Second grade students have been completing a “Brown Bag Autobiography.” At the beginning of the school year, the students chose five of their favorite items and brought them to school in a brown bag. The students have worked hard to write and edit an autobiography to describe why the items in the brown bag are so special to them. The students will present their “Brown Bag Autobiographies” to the class. The students have been looking forward to finding out what items their classmates treasure!
