I love brain teasers, and my students know. Watch the video, answer the questions along with the student and see if your mind is being read. For more brain teasers check out Read This.

Guest Post by Bowman PTA4th grade YES club is an after school science club sponsored and organized by the Bowman PTA. Registration for 4th grade students only is now open.
There are 7 weeks of science fun kits and students get to work with awesome LHS volunteers. The club can only take 40 students on a first come first serve basis. Guest Post, Bowman PTAFriday, March 4 6:30 - 8PM in the Bowman Gym Oh Yeah! Come for a night of family fun! We have a DJ so you can show off your Disco moves. Bring some pennies to play Bingo. The pennies will be donate to our sister school SAGAM at the end of the night. We will have special guest callers this year. Guess who? And judges will be noting who's got the best dance moves and costume. Due Date: Tuesday, March 1stDear Parents,
I hope you all had a restful February Break with your children. Long before the break (a month ago), I gave the students a long-term assignment. Students will need to write a summary for a book or create a book trailer that they have already completed reading. It is due on Tuesday, March 1, 2016. Many students have been working incredibly hard on their projects. Most are working in groups, other are working independently and some are still in limbo. Be sure to check with your child to be sure they have decided on a specific book, the book has been completed, they’ve decided on whether they are going to do a summary or a trailer. Finally, many students have really enjoyed being able to view the videos on the class blog. When the videos are submitted, I am planning to post the videos so the students will be able to view them. If you would prefer not to have your child represented in a video on the Internet, please advise them to complete the book summary. Once again the assignment is due on Tuesday, March 1st. Thank you to all of the parents who assisted to make the Valentine's Day celebration a success. Students had an amazing time discovering country names and capitals, creating Valentine's Day cards, and learning about optical allusions. Thanks once again to the parent volunteers: Mrs. Carson, Ms. Trupe, Ms. Lin, Ms. Gong, and Mrs. Serrano. Lots of students enjoy writing Flash Drafts. Take a look at a couple of the pictures the students have been using to creatively write flash drafts. For more pictures and inspiration, check out the Writing Prompt Picture page. You've finished reading The Unwanteds, watch the video below. What you will be doing today during math assessments. Guest Post from Dr. AntonGood Afternoon Bowman Families,
I hope that you are enjoying the unexpected snow storm. I was not really expecting snow when yesterday was in the high 40's! I wanted to share with you that I will be out of the building next week. In my absence, Beth Glick will be your go-to person should you need any help. We anticipate business as usual. You may have heard that I will be on my first trip to India. Since I first taught about India as a second grade teacher over 20 years ago, India has been a top location on my bucket list. Some of your students may have told you that they will be "traveling with me". Our second grades are currently in a Social Studies Unit on India, and I will be blogging with them as together we learn more about the places that I am visiting. They have armed me with a long list of questions, and I hope that we will be able to answer some of them as we travel. In Art next week students at each grade level will be exploring different aspects of India art, and the fourth grades will be looking to connect this travel with mathematics. The blog allows for students to write back, and classrooms will be doing this next week. As I will be traveling for two weeks, I invite you to follow along at home, continuing your child's experience. You can find our India blog at www.bowman2016.blogspot.com. Attached to this email are two newsletters, the PTA Broadside for February and a newsletter from Karen Tripoli, our K-5 Mathematics Curriculum Coordinator. We hope that you will find them interesting. One thing I want to bring to your attention is that the Spaghetti Dinner, planned for after February vacation is almost sold out. Only the third seating remains with any spaces. We will not be able to add spots for this event as there are fire code capacity limits. We appreciate your understanding. I wish you all a wonderful week and hope you can join us on Bowman's virtual trip to India. Mary |
