As you know, The Ghioni Gems have been learning about the different types of energy, and how it transfers from one object to another and from one state to the other. Each child’s room was combined with other rooms to make a whole house. Last Thursday, your kiddos had an opportunity to share their knowledge about energy with other students who came to observe and learn.

Here’s a sneak peek at our Pizza Party on Tuesday. The kiddos earned this party after walking a total of 693 laps! They walked more laps than any other class. Way to go Gems!!

Thank you PTSA!!!

Thank you to all of the parents who came with us to learn about The Gold Rush Museum and The Seattle Underground! 🙂

                        WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR THE WALKATHON!!

We are well into our unit on fractions. Currently, your child is learning how to compare fractions with uncommon denominators.

Kim loves her monkeys. Their names are Coco and Popo.

Lincoln shared an awesome magic trick. How does he do that?

Alex loves to hunt and do magic. We couldn’t figure out his amazing trick!

Maddie enjoys playing Minecraft. Like…REALLY enjoys it!!

Kylee says she’s obsessed with horses.

Ending our Literature Unit: We wrapped up our unit on “Interpreting Characters” by focusing on theme. Each group came up with a theme and a life lesson for the story, Tiger Rising. Then, they presented their thinking to the class.

We’re starting a new unit on Nonfiction!!  In pairs, students read a page of nonfiction text with the goal of identifying the main idea and the supporting details.
