Scholar of the Month.... Hoot!! Hoot!!


The character word for the month of March is "thoughtfulness." Shemi consistently demonstrates this word on daily basis. She is always thinking of others. Her thoughtful actions can be seen whenever she is working with her teammates on the carpet, at the table or in line. She is also extremely courteous toward others. We are so proud of you and all that you are accomplishing  at Sonora Elementary!!

Find Your Partner... Continent Study in Unit 5


"Find Your Partner!"

As a grade-level, we are beginning to study Unit 5. This unit centers on the study of continents and cultures around the world. In the picture below, you will see our students just participated in a "Find Your Partner" activity involving the study of 7 continents.





Hey, Little Ant!


Our class has been diligently working on completing various opinion writing pieces in Unit 4. After a read aloud of "Hey, Little Ant!"....each student wrote to a prompt. In their writing, each student included at least three opinions with supporting details as to whether or not the little boy should squish the ant. Students also looked for the need of capitals, punctuation and spelling within their work. Please look for their writing in our classroom! Our class is hard at work as writers!
