Our Shirts!

 

Mystery Skype

  

It was another fun week for the students in room 23!  We started our week by dying our shirts and they look FANTASTIC!!!  Thanks to Mrs. Pipe, Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Mackintosh and Mrs. Katz for helping. :)  We will continue line designs and reviewing math concepts this week.  We have just a few pages to go in Charlotte's Web and everyone has loved this book.  We will finish the year setting goals for summer reading.  We have spent a great deal of time using the lap tops and in the computer lab this week working on non fiction writing and poetry.  The students have been accessing their Google Drive accounts from home with much success.  Our travels across the United States will continue next week as we head to the Southwest region.  In addition we will have our last visit from the Haffenreffer Museum on Tuesday as we learn about native Americans of the South west.  On Friday, we participated in a "Mystery Skype," social studies/technology lesson with Mrs. Merten's class.  We answered questions about our region and students in another classroom  prepared answers to the same questions.  We were able to Skype with them, ask them questions, and then figure out where they were located in the United States.   It was exciting to figure out that they were in Bellingham, WASHINGTON!!!! It was so much fun and we are hoping that we can do this again before the school year ends.  In science, we used magnets to complete a few experiments this week and will move on to current electricity next week.  Also, we will be getting ready for the poetry coffeehouse.  The chorus concert is on Thursday, see you then!
