3rd grade students are engaged in transforming their creatures from a 2D form to 3D form using clay and the method of slip and score, before they go into the kiln. This project incorporated art standards, geometry, and writing. We cannot wait to see the finished products.
Ms. Balmer's second graders were excited to learn during their Readers workshop block. It was great watching them learn during Shared Reading, Phonics, and the Mini Lesson before they transitioned to independent reading.
Ms. Hertweck's class engaged in their book boxes.

Amazing learning happening at Hart. Today we saw students finding sight words during shared reading and then move into conferring with their writing pieces. Some of our writers were beginning to add speech bubbles to bring their characters to life.
2nd grade is focused on their reading and writing as students engage in publishing their stories where they are learning to hook their readers at the beginning of their stories. 2nd grade has also been utilizing shared reading time during Reader's Workshop to focus on retelling, phonics, and fluency this week.
Ms. Moody modeled and engaged parents in a small group lesson using decodable readers during the Early Literacy Parent Information session. It was such a great experience to see all the intentionality that comes into meeting the needs of our students.
It was a pleasure to watch Ms. Anderson engage parents in one portion of a student's Reader's Workshop block by modeling a Shared Reading lesson during the Early Literacy Parent Information sessions.
Say Cheese! Tomorrow is picture day at Hart.
