Robert Munsch

Hello Parents and Students!
We are doing an Author Study on Robert Munsch. He was born in America but moved to a small city called Guelph in Ontario, Canada. This is only one hour from my home town!
While reading stories and listening online, we have noticed that Munsch often writes funny stories about kids. Often there are repeating parts and LOUD NOISES!
Feel free to listen to some books being read by Munsch. Here is the site:

Social Studies: A Final Assessment

*ART CLASS WITH MS. KIM!* We're so creative when she's teaching us!

We are wrapping up our unit on Urban and Rural Communities. Thanks for all of your pictures in the last month. The students really enjoyed sharing their lives back home, or here in Korea. It helps us to get a bigger picture on the world at large. Here are some videos of one of the final assessments. They are going on a journey around the world. They see lots of amazing treasures on our Earth.

ENJOY :)

Science in motion!

The students have been learning a lot of new Science vocabulary in the last few weeks, and are able to use the words in context. I'm so proud of them! Here are some words you could test them about at random... (They may not know all of them right now, but they will soon!)

-Capillaries -Germination -Fibrous root -Taproot -Nutrients -Seeds -Leaves -Stem -Shelter - Life Cycle -Plant's needs -Seedling

Here are some online games they can play to practice their vocabulary!! You may have to copy and paste them into a browser. Enjoy!!
