In Writing, we are still drafting our essays. We used our Opinion Check-lists to see how we are doing with essay writing and set goals. Many of us are almost finished with their drafts and are excited to choose new topics.In Reading, we have been presenting our Biography Projects. Here are some pictures. Those of us who have made posters, you will get to see these soon when we bring them home. We also started a grade-wide read aloud (they're reading it in Ms. Allen's room AND Ms. Temple's rooms too) called Fig Pudding.
In Science we thought about weight lines and put the samples of sand, soil, mineral oil, and water on the weight line where they made most sense. We then looked at the weight lines that different students designed and thought about what made them good and what made them not so good. We decided that good weight lines are labeled with equally spaced intervals with the unit clearly marked.
In other news, Quiet Time is getting better and better and it's more and more peaceful. We had Understanding Our Differences on diabetes and allergies. We even had a guest from Newton North High School named Cole. He had an allergic reaction when he was two. An exciting thing was that we earned 11 stars, a Fourthlandian record! We got to have a dance party and relax at the end of today. We also earned more money and paid rent! Finally, Dr. Curran came and taught us a mindfulness practice of ringing a chime. Here is a picture of us being mindful.
Have a nice weekend!
Maria, Matt, and Ms. Swaim
