Dr. Martire reads to the Sixth Age!

Dr. Martire read Harry the Dirty Dog to the entire Sixth Age in the courtyard this morning, in celebration of March Reading Madness!

Students enjoyed this fellowship together and look forward to finishing March Reading book links and minute tallies throughout the week.  Next week will conclude March Reading Madness at Calvert.

Calvert Bear travels to DISNEY WORLD!

Calvert Bear recently went on a spring break adventure with a student to Disney World in Orlando, Florida! Both boy and bear had a ton of fun and even rode on Splash Mountain!

I was quite impressed by the amount of time this student spent on completing this thoughtful project- he included two pages of complete sentences and even drew accompanying pictures.  Excellent job!

Cafe du Monde

Enjoying wonderful beignets and a cafe au lait at one of this city's landmarks. 

Have you figured out where I am?

Mrs. Armstrong Travels To...

I am on a plane- headed where, you ask? I'll give you a hint: this city is often referred to as " the city that care forgot". This is because people are said to travel here to have a good time! I'll post more clues later this week.

Bon voyage, Baltimore!

The 6D Tree in late winter

The 6D students visited their tree this past week, as it is showing signs of spring! Small red buds have appeared on the branches- what a beautiful sight!

Students drew a picture of the tree to add to their journals.

Sharks and Minnows

In light of the wonderful *spring* weather we've been experiencing in Baltimore this week, the 6D students played "Sharks and Minnows" with their 9th Age friends on the field.

Fun was had by all!

The Puddle

The readers read a story called The Puddle this week in class.  It is a fictitious tale of a boy who takes his toy boat out for a sail on a rainy day.  The sailboat has a wonderful adventure on the "high sea"s and meets an alligator, an elephant, and even a turtle having tea!

To celebrate this story, the students made origami sailboats in class before documenting their own fictitious boating adventure.

Ships ahoy, readers!
