Fabulous Friday Fun



Friday was a super day in room 130. Students wrote thank you notes to the Cummer Museum tour guide, learned how to play Outburst with Mrs. Donnelly and enjoyed a video in their pajamas. Wonderful was to begin Winter Break.

Fantastic Day in Riverside








Fourth graders visited the Cummer Museum of Art this week. They learned all about Florida artists and pieces of art that featured Florida. The classes toured the museum and the beautiful English and Italian gardens and walked to the Riverside Memorial Park for a picnic lunch. It was a very fun day.

Finished our First Novel



Fourth graders were brought to tears by the conclusion and epilogue of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes this week. They had some great discussions about war and peace and discovered some long lasting cause-effect relationships. Here is Nicole modeling a pink, silk kimono like the one Sadako wore. And Calen is teaching his classmates how to fold paper cranes.
