Patty's 3rd and 4th grade multiage classroom is a fun and energetic place to learn.
One of the highlights of each week is Thursday Stamp Club. Each child
has the opportunity to start a stamp collection. For some this will be
a lifelong hobby. For others it is a fun way to learn about many
interesting topics. We are finishing up out fall projects now and in
January we will be picking a stamp or series of stamps to write a
research paper. We will find out why that person or subject is on a
stamp!! Tuesday mornings find us working on our
poetry. Kids are urged to read their poems over and over, frontwards,
backwards and upside down until they are memorized. Here are two
current favorites:
Whether
Stamp Collecting
the Weather
Whether the weather be fine Or whether the weather be not Whether the weather be cold Or whether the weather be hot__ We'll weather the weather Whatever the weather Whether we like it or not!!

Who Am I? Felice Hoffman
The trees ask me, And the sky, And the sea asks me Who am I?
The grass asks me, And the sand, And the rock asks me Who am I?
The wind tells me At nightfall, And
Upside down memorization!!
the rain tells me Someone small.
Someone small Someone small But a piece
of it
all.
