All About Me

Sharing our All about me Posters so we can know each other  really well.
 Students had a great week sharing about themselves and helping others share theirs too.

Math games on Friday

Sound of silence

This week  we started our study of sound. The students learned that there are 4 things you need to hear a sound: a vibration which is a back and forth movement of energy , a medium for the vibration to move through, an ear to capture the sound wave ,and a brain to identify the sound that is being made.

Skyla is loving this experiment!

We had two days of experiments so far and there wasn't a voice to be heard. These children were so focused on hearing the sounds being made and categorizing the pitch of the sounds.  Pitch is the highness of lowness of a sound . The students learned that the slower the vibration the lower the pitch. Also the longer the vibrating column the lower the pitch. Conversely the oppsosite is true. Faster, shorter, higher. This information will be useful when the students engineer their own instruments. Details coming soon. Enjoy the view from Room 205

Getting to know you.

Back to school Information

Hello!   I'm Mrs. Lynch,

Welcome to my classroom blog. Here you will find interesting posts on what's happening in Room 205 and also with our school community. 

  I  hope you all received a postcard from me and more recently a letter about our school day.

Here are some things you need to know. First, you don't need to go back to school shopping for supplies. I have already purchased just about everything you will need in the classroom.  If you already went shopping keep your supplies at home. Keep them in one place so they are handy for you to use. You can use them to complete homework assignments.

Second, if you would like you to donate a box of tissues and disinfecting wipes - (not baby wipes) to the classroom it would be greatly appreciated. These items are always needed and can be sent in any time during the year.

I bet you are wondering about our schedule!
Our day begins at 8:35.  We start right for with a math block and then we're off to specials at  9:25-10:10.  Our specials are:  Music on Monday and Thursday with Ms. Berger ,Gym on Wednesday and Friday with Ms. Govoni , and Art on Tuesday then more Math followed by Science or Social Studies. Then we have Lunch at 11:35-12:00.  After recess we will have ELA and intervention. Dismissal will be at 2:40!  

 Finally, the most important thing for you to bring to our class on the first day is a smile! I am looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday, September 2rd.  Oops I think my letter said Monday, it is Tuesday September 2nd . If you have any questions please feel to contact me. My e-mail is  jlynch@bpsk12.org.
