The students created short scripts about a historical event, person or landmark.  They researched their topic for facts that they embedded within their story.  We also learned about puns and the mechanics of script writing.  (Thanks to Reese’s mother for sharing her knowledge with us!)  We also learned about writing puns and the different types of puns.  Please enjoy the following short videos!

Hello All!   It is hard to believe that we are winding down another school year.  We have accomplished a lot and  there have been some unique opportunities for students this year.  Please check out the main page of the EY Blog and click the “What’s New” button for some pictures and information about some of those happenings.  There is also a listing of summer opportunities for gifted students.

We are all busy working on our Mr. Peabody and Sherman scripts.  The students have a topic chosen and are researching to find facts that will be imbedded in their script.  Everyone has had a short lesson in script writing and puns.  I am anxious to see how they turn out!  Stay tuned!

We also are finishing up our vocabulary enrichment, “Wordly Wise”.  I have seen a lot of growth in this area.  I will encourage them to finish strong!  They may not see the value of this right now, but I think they will later.  🙂

Thanks so much to all the parents that helped with transportation to the Brownell-Talbot Math Contest for grades 5-6.  I really appreciate all the support!

That is all for now!  Now that is seems to be finally here, enjoy the spring weather!
