Some Fun Photos

Check out a few fun photos of Resource Room happenings today:

The fifth grade Math Masters team is at their regional competition today at Capitol Hill.  They have been working for months to prepare.  A huge thank you to Mr. Strong for leading them in this endeavor.  They were excellent representatives of Highland Catholic School and we are so proud of them!

All of the students in the Resource Room, race into the classroom so they have a few minutes to spend creating poems on the word wall.  Here is a fabulous poems created by Miguel and Jake.

"Whisper with big thoughts/ Imagine wish dream wonder/Never give up, I will be there.

And finally, a couple of fifth grade boys, Peter and Nick, used a little free time to create a large alphabet using the geoboards.

Second Grade Fairy Tales

The second grade language arts groups in the Resource Room extended their classroom unit on fairy tales by creating their own tales. The groups investigated some creative fairy tales--including one that was told backwards!  The tale started with "Happily ever after" and ended with "Once upon a time".
As a group, we brainstormed our own fairy tale ideas and then worked to develop a tale with the best of the ideas.  These fairy tales came to life with all of the ideas and creative characters the children created.

We hope you enjoy our work.  Click on the links below to read the masterpieces!  The first fairy tale is from Room 104 and the second is from Room 106.

Saints Alive!
Third grade students in the Resource Room Language Arts groups recently completed a study of a saint that had significance in their life.  The significance might have been a shared name, feast day or patronage of a certain quality, trait or group.  After doing research using books and websites, the students prepared reports and recorded them on iPads using DoodleCast.

The saint reports can be found below.   If you click on the thumbnail, the saint's name will appear and you can listen to the report.

Enjoy!
