We have been so busy this week! In math we are finishing up addition and subtraction. We have been working in our math workshop stations. We also had a problem solving day! We were so busy I forgot to take pictures! In Reading we have been taking time to really think about the characters in our books. We made a sketch and then thought about inside and outside character traits. This was also good practice using our Reader's Notebooks! In Social Studies, we are concluding out Map Skills unit with a final project. The students are showing their knowledge and what they learned by creating their own maps and writing directions. Here are lots of hardworking students and some finished products! During Writers' Workshop we are continuing our narrative story writing. We have learned how to come up with ideas, how to plan our story, and practiced stretching our writing scene by scene. We have started our first Science unit this year and it is about Energy. We started with electric energy and worked to discover what is needed to light a lightbulb! We had a great visit to the LMC and we love the comfy Yogibo chairs Mrs. Cowell has. There was a raffle going on as well. There were so many new books that Mrs. Cowell had a raffle to see who would be the first students to get to check them out! From our class Payton and Maddie won and get to be the first to read so great selections! Some exciting new is that we worked hard to earn letters each day, at the end of the day however many letters we earned is how many marbles go in the jar. Well, we filled the jar! Next week we will earn our reward of making a little slime. Of course we will link this activity to some math problem solving as well! Please look for an email from me next week about our mystery reader schedule and sign up!
Have a great long weekend!
