A Big Bite

It was a very busy week in room 23 and there were several special activities that we participated in as a class and grade.  Constitution Day was on Tuesday and we worked together as a grade to learn about the Constitution.  In science we reviewed the water cycle and will be building terrariums this week!  In math we finished working on place value, addition and subtraction and took our first math test. In addition, we continued to work on the puff mobiles and working in cooperative works.  Everyone worked very hard and did a great job!  A highlight of the week was a visit from Len Cabral, story teller.  Thanks to the PCC for providing this enrichment opportunity as the summer reading celebration.  As a class, we have read 74 books so far this year!  In poetry workshop we are learning about Walt Whitman and free verse poems.  We have listened to several Whitman poems and are preparing to write list poems in the same style as Whitman.  In technology, many of us finished typing poems in a word document and learned how to add a printer to our files.  Mrs. Merten says that we will be learning Power Point soon! Next week is shaping up to be action packed!
