Fourth graders in Mrs. Lovell's class were treated to a visit by Angie DiMarco from the Worcester County Library. Students made mini book keychains, cards for residents at local nursing homes, and read "The Polar Express."
These third grade children collabrate to determine events to include in a timeline about Galileo.
❄️Students in 4th grade created storyboards to retell the poem "Dust of Snow" by Robert Frost in a story format. They drew their illustrations and created captions to describe a snapshot of each moment in the poem.❄️
4th graders learned about theme in the short story "All Summer In a Day"and wrote it down on a piece of paper. They wadded the paper up and had a "snowball fight" by adding details from the text to support their classmates' theme.
4th graders worked in groups to read through different parts of the text to identify sensory details that helped create a mood. Then they participated in a gallery walk to read each other's ideas.
Jigsaw groups become experts on a section of an article, so they can share their knowledge with other children that are experts on other sections of the same article. Cooperative learning about Galileo.
We had such a great time with our reading buddies in Mrs. Gibson’s class. They enjoyed making turkeys and sharing what they are thankful for.

We have been so lucky to have Mr. Shipley in the pre-K 3 classroom so much this year! He may be new to Showell (and so are we), but we have gotten to know him and enjoy having him visit pre-K 3 for hugs, songs, and naps 🩵
Dane Miller was nominated for the Ripley’s Believe It or Not award for October. He always works hard and is willing to help others. He is such a great student!

WCPS families, please note that due to a glitch with PowerSchool, some student report cards sent home today may have teacher comments with a question mark by mistake. Please ignore this extra punctuation. We appreciate your understanding.
The kindness of our Showell students is always amazing. This generous 4th grader gave a heart to her former, third grade teacher. The "heart" she created detailed how she believed her former teacher had a great heart figuratively. It is beautiful to see people lifting the spirits of other people. The world could use more kindness and great hearts. This gives evidence that school is much more than reading and writing.
4th graders participated in a "chalk talk" to answer questions about how the character in the novel, Love That Dog is changing. Students had to answer questions using evidence from the text.
Clay Night Reminder- To those who have signed up for the event. We will meet Thursday 11/7 5:30-7:00 in SES cafeteria for a evening of sculpting fun!
To help 4th graders learn about patterns, they created patterns out of Halloween shaped erasers. Their classmates then had to find the rule for the pattern and tell what shapes would come next if they extended the pattern.
