FOREST BROOK FIRST AND THIRD GRADERS ARE ON THE CASE! On Friday, December 7th, Forest Brook first graders and third graders held an end-of-the-unit celebration. The third graders in Rivera s, Braglia s, Gandolfo s and Irvine s classes have been reading about mysteries. The first graders in Govits, Classey s and Clarkin s classes have worked on being word detectives. On entering the hallway, Classey and Clarkin were singing a song along with their class to the same tune as the Ghostbusters song. They sang, What you gonna do? Look closely. Govits said, The first graders are armed with their word detective badges, magnifying glasses to look at the words closely and their strategies. They were working on clues to solve words. In the mystery unit, the third-graders learned about clues, red herrings, witnesses, suspects and detectives. Govits said, The students are seeing that what they have learned in first grade will come around again and be something they will carry on in third grade. This was a wonderful celebration of learning and the students were very happy to work together! Look Closely!
