This week we started learning about and experimenting with force!  Students created top designs and explored what happens to the motion of the top when varying amounts of force are used on it.

We have started a six week mindfulness initiative at Rowe School!  Erica Marcus joined us this week to help us develop our 'meerkat mindful bodies' and practice being still and listening in a new way.  She will visit our classroom to teach us new mindfulness strategies each week over the next six weeks.  Be sure to ask your child to show you what we are practicing!

In writers workshop we've started writing informational texts.  Students have spent this week brainstorming ideas, planning their pages, writing interesting words, and adding text features!
