This week has been a tough one! HUGE kudos to these kids for being so very flexible and downright wonderful during testing! They were mindful and kind to each other. They were great sports about indoor recess on days that were just too hot to be outside. AND they took care of their teacher during those days were in our classroom from the day's start to the day's finish!
In reading, we assessed our objective on finding the moral in a fable. We watched a fun film featuring four classic tall tales too, from Paul Bunyan and the way to Johnny Appleseed. We are beginning an author study of Chris Van Allsburg to end our year with some FUN! We read Jumanji and students are now working in groups to create their own board games to play on game day next Thursday! I've never tried this before, and I can't wait to see what they come up with!
In math we assessed measurement and moved forward with graphing. Students are learning how to collect and plot data on line plots, picture graphs, and bar graphs.
In social studies we learned about natural resources. Students created a super hero to protect a natural resource of their own choosing. And, it wouldn't be right not to take a look at The Lorax while we're at it. That's up next!
