Last week students worked on turning their notes into paragraphs. By the end of the week they were ready to write closing sentences. Soon students will be rewriting their drafts into their final booklets.
Quadrilateral City:
Students did a great job building various buildings out of quadrilaterals for their city, including: 4 restaurants, 4 retail shops, city hall, library, theatre, and a hotel. Partners worked together to lay their city out on paper. Then they added a centrally located park, sidewalks, and streets. Partners worked together to write and present a speech to the class Friday. Their goal was to persuade their classmates that their city was the best Quadrilateral City. They all did an excellent job with this fun project! Check out the photos of students' cities below.
Science:
Well anyone who was worried about his/her child bringing home a crayfish can breathe a sigh of relief. For some reason, this year was not a good year for the crayfish. Between Ms. Mulligan's class and ours, we only have a total of four crayfish.
Last week we learned that crayfish like to hide in dark places. We have set up four "homes" for the crayfish to hide under. A study guide will go home with your child tomorrow. The Structures of Life science test will be Wednesday, March 30.
St. Patrick's Day:
Students enjoyed green bagels in the morning before we left for our field trip to see the Annie Jr. play. We really enjoyed watching Audrey perform in this fun musical!
March is Reading Month:
The students continue to absolutely LOVE having mystery readers in our classroom. Check out the photos below to see who visited this week! Students also enjoyed pajama day and a special reading time in the LGI on Friday. Please make sure your child returns his/her reading log on Thursday this week with a parent signature.
