Welcome to Leslie's Room- Room 217
Welcome to Room 217! We are one of five E2 classrooms comprised of 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students at Nokomis Montessori.

This year in "cultures" we are studying Minnesota history.  This is an exciting year because we take many field trips, including the Minnesota Capitol, Kelly Farm, and the MN Landscape Arboretum.

Reader's Workshop occurs daily, and we have the pleasure of having Ms. Leona and Mr. Dan in our room each day for this learning.  Students participate in independent reading, mini-lessons, reading groups, or word study lessons. We read a variety of literature and study different genres.  Students keep a Reader's notebook to respond to their writing and practice different reading strategies.  Writer's Workshop follows a similar format of mini-lessons and work time.  Students keep a Writer's notebook and collect ideas for their writing.  Throughout the year students will explore different genres of writing, while also incorporating work from their word study and grammar lessons. 

In Math students have the opportunity to use the beautiful Montessori math materials.  This allows students to concretely practice a math concept before working solely with pencil and paper.  Students will have math homework daily.

Parent volunteers are appreciated!  If you are able to volunteer in the classroom, please contact me. 

I am excited for another excellent year!

Leslie
