This 4th grader helped his dad build shelves for their basement over the weekend!

Here is another example of a work space created by a 3rd grader! This work space is neat and organized, away from distractions, and has a space to keep school work so that it is easy to grab when they're ready to continue learning from home! Way to go!

In this picture you will see a fourth grader, his brother, and Dad on a scavenger hunt that their Nana made up! Here is the scavenger hunt. You can do it too!

1. A small, smooth stone that fits in your palm
2. A stick that is shaped like a Y and shorter than your knee to the ground
3. A green leaf
4. Something that smells good
5. Something that is shiny
6. A sign of spring
7. A sign of an animal
8. A sign of human presence

Above you will see a 3rd graders office space! When I look closely I can see so many important things helping this student get their work done! It looks like a neat and organized space. I bet it's a quiet space. I see everything from your school bag on the desk. This 3rd grader is ready to go!

What does your work space look like? If you haven't created a space where you do your work we would highly recommend you do that today!
A great working space includes:
1. Neat and organized
2. Quiet, away from distractions
3. A space where all of your work can stay so it's ready when you're ready!

What else does your space include? Send us pictures and we will post them!

Hi 3rd and 4th graders! Wow, it's been so much fun staying in touch with so many of you already! If you are reading our blog but haven't emailed your homeroom teacher yet, please make sure you do that so we know you are reading the blog and staying connected! It's so hard to feel connected to all of you from my living room!


On the right you can see a fourth grader playing baseball in his yard! He has been playing baseball with his dad and brother. This student has also been riding his bike and playing in the mud. What a great time of the year to spend a little time getting dirty in the mud!

Keep the pictures coming!!!

Have you done one of the fun learning activities yet? Which one? Send us a picture!

Good Morning Everyone!
I'm sharing a couple pictures that a 3rd grader sent to us. In the pictures she was on a scavenger hunt! She was searching for things indoors and outdoors that started with each letter of the alphabet. What a fun idea!

Are you doing fun things at home you want to share with us? Send us an email and we will post your activities and share pictures.

We miss you all so much and love seeing what you're up to!

<3 Mrs. Rachael

This morning Mrs. Rachael and I got an email from a 3rd grader telling us about what he has been up to at home! We would love to hear from you! If you want to take pictures or a video, we will share it on the blog for your classmates to see!

Here is what he's been doing:
"Yesterday I worked on my Teepee.  I took all my firewood out and raked all the leaves out of it. I was building a spot to put all the firewood outside because the firewood took up a lot of space in my teepee.  I took the tarp off the other day. Yesterday I put the tarp back on and zip tied the tarp on the teepee. After putting the tarp back on I dug out a hole for the fireplace. I started to line sticks up on one of the teepee walls where there was a gap.  I built a spot to cut all the branches into the right length that I need it to be for the teepee wall. I hope to work it more today if it stops snowing."



Thank you for sharing! We hope to hear from more of you soon!

Love,
Ms. Townsend and Mrs. Rachael
