What is better than a good book on a rainy day? Reading that good book in the dark with a flashlight!

Word Sorts




Yesterday during word study students worked to sort words into word families. Other students sorted short and long vowels. 

Amazing Artists


We have some incredible artists in room 6!  Last week we drew and colored sugar skulls. Later in the year we will be studying mapping and Mexico and this was a fun connection.

Puppets In Education


Today we had the opportunity to watch a presentation by Puppets In Education. The show focused on worry and anxiety and how to deal with the feelings that worry can bring. Thank you Mrs. McCleary for organizing this for us!

A week in Photos


This week our Thursday/Friday learners took their first math unit assessment.

We also wrapped up fire safety and community helpers with a fire dog headband.







Room 6 has some amazing artists!

It’s beginning to look a lot like autumn.

Both learning groups are off to a great start with writing workshop!



A new classroom layout in preparation for having all of us together soon.
