☀️ Learning in the Sunshine at Hawthorne!
Yesterday, Mrs. Schewe’s 4th grade class enjoyed the beautiful weather by heading outside for a Geometric Shape Walk! Students explored their surroundings and identified different shapes based on their attributes.
Ask your student what they discovered! Can they tell you:
-What attributes make a parallelogram?
- What makes a rhombus unique?
- What defines a trapezoid?
It was a great day for hands-on learning and fresh air! 🌳 Hawthorne Tigers love finding math everywhere! 🐯

✨ Text Evidence is Glowing in Mrs. Madore’s Room! ✨
Students in Mrs. Madore’s classroom have been working hard to find text evidence to support their answers while reading. By highlighting the parts of the text that prove their thinking, their hard work lights up right on the page! 📖🖍️
It’s a fun way for students to practice close reading and show exactly where they found their answers in the text.
Way to go, Hawthorne Tigers! 🐯 Keep showing your thinking with strong text evidence! ✨
