A Trip Into the Past at Burton Century Village

Our field trip to the Burton Century Village is the kick-off to the next Social Studies unit, History. We will be looking at how time can be shown on calendars and timelines; how artifacts, maps and photographs can show us how people used to live long ago; how science and technology have changed our lives; and how different people's inventions have changed the world we live in. While at the Burton Century Village the students had a chance to see where and how people lived over one hundred years ago. We had a chance to see what their homes looked like, what it was like to go to school in a one-room school house, and what a store looked like back then.

Thought you would enjoy seeing some of the pictures we took today, we especially enjoyed our journey back in time to the one room school house!

Meet Our Student Teacher

For the past three and a half weeks you may have heard the name, Miss Wright from your students. She is our student teacher from Hiram College. She will be here for the following eight and a half weeks. We are excited to have her here and she has begun teaching some lessons each day! She created a scrapbook page so you can know her both in and out of the classroom. Thought you may like to see it!

Daily Five Practice

Thought you would enjoy seeing some pictures of your students practicing Daily Five. They are hard at work 'Reading to themselves', 'Working with words', and 'Working on writing'.

 

A Visit With An Author-Mr. V!

Mr. VanRaepenbusch came in to talk with students about "small moments" and building on those moments to create stories.  He shared his own personal "small moment" journal with the students, and shared how he brought his ideas full circle into a published book!  What an inspiration as we begin our writing journey!
