A Little Trash & Treasure

November 13, 2009

Mrs. Anderson’s 4th grade class is studying the southeastern United States.  She decided to collaborate with the library staff and practice using the World Book Encyclopedia and  taking notes using  the “Big 6 “ Trash & Treasure approach.  Top that off with a an interesting note taking technique involving  paper folding, cutting  and we had fun, while learning.

Audrey Ureda has joined “The Lunch Bunch” crew.  HHES Students in 5th/6th grade get together once a month to discuss a book that they have selected to read.  This month’s book, “Charlotte’s Web”, was chosen because there will be a community performance of the story in November.  We thought it would be fun to read the book to re-familiarize ourselves with this classic before enjoying the play.

While having  lunch in the library Ms Ureda led the book discussion with several students.  There was some interesting discussion on friendship, favorite parts of the book, writing style and character analysis.

We wrapped up the noon-time event with some chocolate spider cupcakes in memory of Charlotte the Spider, a true friend.
