Our last Friday of the school year together! We continue to finish, sort and take home - little by little. This afternoon is our annual "Jelly Bean Tabloid" day and we hope that Mother Nature cooperates and allows us to be outside. We have fun running around to each of the stations to complete them - all 33 of them! Our reward at the end is - you guessed it - Jelly Beans!
Here are the other year-end remarks from our class:
Griffin: Griffin says bye to all of his friends!
Alan: I really had a fun time this year! I wish that I didn't have to go to grade 4!
Audrey: I really liked learning about Mexico this year because I learned interesting things.
Ben: I hope everyone that's in grade 2 will have a fun year in grade 3. I wonder if I'll have fun in my new school. I'll miss my grade 3 classmates very much. (We'll all MISS you too, Ben.)
Charlotte: I know that I will have a fun time in my new classroom but I will miss this classroom, too. Have a nice summer!
Dominic: This year was the best year that I've had in all 3 years! P. S. Happy Summer!!!!
Eirrah: I really liked this year because I met new friends and there were different things to learn about.
Frances: I liked researching the scarlet macaw for my Mexico project and I hope that your summer turns out to be a good one!
Heather: I'm sad that I'm going to be leaving Mrs. Chumola's room because I've been in her room for 3 years already.
Kael: I really liked this school year because it was really fun! I made some new friends, too.
Liam: I'll miss this class - I'm done!
Madelynn: I'm going to miss this classroom but I'm happy to be upstairs, too!
Violet: I'm very excited for my new teacher but I'll also be missing Mrs. Chumola. I liked the research that we did about Mexico.
Signing off for the 2015-2016 school year! Our best wishes to those that are leaving us. (Sad to see
you go and we wish you lots of happiness at your new school!) and to everyone else - see you in September!

Hello Summer!
Hi everyone! We survived (and had fun) Linwood's Outdoor Challenge. We prepared for and hosted our Celebration of Learning. Thank you to families that were able to attend. We hope that you enjoyed seeing our learning about Mexico. Part of this blog will include both videos so that everyone may share and enjoy them.
On Tuesday, we joined our grade group friends for our annual Adventure Playground fun and picnic. What perfect weather we had! The ladies at the conservatory presented an interesting program to us that reinforced our learning about soils and plants. Of course, Sargent Sundae is always a highlight to finish the day!
Students are writing about their field trip experience. We continue to finish some class work, then will organize things to send home. It's still a busy time!
As a final celebration of our Mexican learning, our class enjoyed a few traditional foods. One of them was "Churritos." They were yummy! Ask your child what they are!
To end this year's blog, I want to say thank you very much to our families for your support, encouragement and willingness to help whenever or however you can. I wish all of you a happy, safe summer with your family.
Room 6's "Last Blog Post" comments:
Andy: It has been a very good few months here at Linwood. I hope that anyone else that comes here has a very good time, too.
Aubrey: I made some new friends in this room! I hope everyone has a fun summer!
Hudson: This school year has been a great time! I was taught very well and I don't thin that I could go to a better school than this!
Maverick: This year was nice and I really like the people that were in my class.
Gabriel: It's the end of the school year - bye everybody! See you in September.
Alex: Me, Andrew and my mom were looking for the ducks on our field trip. It was fun!
Loralai: This school year was awesome and I think that because I'm coming back to this classroom that it'll be even more fun!
More comments to follow tomorrow...

Our Outdoor Challenge Week!
Last week we were part of Linwood's first Outdoor Challenge week! For five days, we were outside learning through play and a variety of activities. We managed to get two community walks in for the week, too. The weather proved to be a bit of a "challenge" but we persevered and had fun anyway! This week, the children are writing about the experience. Different stations included a mud kitchen, water play, games, different nature art activities, an earth ball, making boats, creating and weaving, scavenger hunts, reading, drawing and writing. We hope that you enjoy some of the pictures that will give you an idea of what the week looked like for us.
Okay, more than a few pictures - but we hope these give you an idea of the fun and learning that happened outside last week! The last photo is our May birthday celebration - at least it wasn't raining too hard at that time!

Lots of Learning in Room 6!
Hello Everyone!
It's been full speed ahead since we returned from Spring Break! Plenty of learning every day - reading, writing, problem solving, experiments, research, participating in "Wear Pink to say No to Bullying Day," reading and talking about how to help our earth, preparing for an assembly - to name a few.
Ms. Provencher, our teacher candidate has been teaching our Geometry unit in Math. We have made booklets, done a scavenger hunt, compared 2-D shapes and 3-D objects and sorted them.
In Science, we've been learning about the importance of soil. What makes soil? What are the different layers in soil and different types of soils? Why do we need soil? Ms. Provencher has prepared and shown a number of different Power Point Presentations and lessons to teach us about soil. We've done experiments and worked through a booklet. We even ate "Dirt!" Ask me about that!
In Social Studies, we're learning about the country of Mexico. This will all lead up to our June Celebration of Learning! No siestas in our class!
We can't have April without celebrating this planet we call home. Reviewing the 3-R's is important and learning how even one young person can make a difference just by not being a litterbug. Speaking of that, students used leftover materials to create their own adorable "Litterbug." These will be on display in our hallway for a few days. Room 6 also performed a song at our Earth Day assembly on Thursday. It's called "One Planet." Their singing as a group sounds absolutely beautiful and they made us proud! You can watch a recording of the song, as part of this blog post.
Don't they sound wonderful! We hope you enjoy it!

Happy Spring!
Hello from Room 6! We are excited about the arrival of Spring for so many reasons! We hope to come back in April without snow pants, boots and other winter gear! With Easter and Spring Break right around the corner, excitement has been building!
We have welcomed Miss Provencher back into our classroom to complete her final practicum before she graduates. She will be with us for most of April, too. Lots of fun learning planned for after Spring Break!
The children prepared to share their second term portfolio work with their family. They take such pride in showing off their accomplishments - exactly as it should be.
Below are a few photos to update you on what's been happening in our room the past while. Enjoy!
The students have also been very busy working on their "Genius Projects." What a range of topics we have - tornadoes and hurricanes, toxic waste, robots, sharks, electricity, Ancient Egypt, rainbows, to name a few. These have been worked on mostly independently and are looking great! Photos to follow in April!

We're 100 Days Smarter!
Hi Everyone!
Monday, February 22nd was officially our 100th day of school! We talked about way back in September when it was our 1st day together and now here we are... 100 days smarter! Lots of learning has been accomplished and Room 6 students have worked like busy bees!
It was time to celebrate learning together for 100 days - so the afternoon was set up for students to travel around to 3 classrooms and participate in stations. Rooms 4 and 10 were also part of the afternoon. The children had booklets to help guide them around. By far, the favorite one was the Snack Station! Food is always a big hit!
Below are a few pictures to showcase some of the learning - sorry, couldn't get everyone because Mrs. Chumola was busy at the "Make a 100 Day" crown station.
We want to say a huge THANK - YOU to our families that donated snacks and craft supplies, especially on short notice. You helped to make the afternoon a success.
A reason to celebrate... 100 days of learning, fun and friendships!

Valentine Fun!
Hi Everyone! Wow, these days are slipping by way too quickly! Last week, children listened to stories related to Valentine's Day, worked on Valentine themed math, and wrote poems and letters about love and caring. They also had fun preparing for our Valentine celebration, then giving out their cards and enjoying delicious snacks that were contributed by parents. Thank you so much!
We hope that you enjoy some pictures taken before and during our celebration.
A fun time was had by all! Until next Valentine's Day...
