Hello Parents!
This has been a fun week in the CotiSweets classroom! First of all, pat your students on the back, for they did a wonderful job with the DC-CAS! It takes a lot of stamina to take any standardized test, but they made it through two weeks of it! Ms. Coti and I recognize and are so proud of all of their hard work and we’re sure that they did us proud.
This week in Social Studies we wrapped up the Famous Colonial Figures presentations, and everyone did a wonderful job! We’re almost finished with this unit, and then we will begin learning about the Revolutionary War.
Thank you so much for celebrating the end of our poetry unit with us! The publishing party was great and we were so happy to see so many families join us.
This week we had a park ranger from our first environmental field trips come and teach us how to recognize different frog calls! The entire fourth grade joined our class in listening to recorded calls and learning how to be great listeners so that we can help this NASA-sponsored program count how many frogs (and what types) live in specific areas of DC.
As I’m sure many of you have heard about, Ms. Coti introduced us to Pysanka egg decorating this week—a Ukranian tradition that is similar to Batiking. The kids LOVED it, and got very creative when making their eggs! Some students also worked on the butterfly mosaic table top that is our class auction project, and it is looking great!
As I just (sadly) announced to your students, my last week student teaching is the week after Spring Break ☹ So unfortunately next week’s blog update will be my last!
Have a wonderful Spring Break and enjoy the pictures—I have A LOT this week!
Ms. Goldy
