Author/Illustrator Day

Edgewood has enjoyed a fun day led by Michael P. White, an illustrator and now writer. He demonstrated for students the writing and illustrating process, shared several pieces of artwork, and even taught the students how to create some of their own illustrations.

Winter Holiday Party

I hope that you had a wonderful break! We have had a great time getting back into the swing of things. Here is a peek at the fun we had with students playing Minute to Win It at the party in December.

Busy December

We have had a wonderful, yet busy December wrapping up several units in class. Students enjoyed the following:

Class debate on the British versus the colonists











Studying for a science test using a game called "Scoot"





And using plant and animal cards to make food webs and energy pyramids
