A Big Bite

It was a full week in Room 23.  We finished our unit on addition and subtraction and the test went well!  Check out the Periscope video to watch us reviewing with the game Kahoot! Thanks to Mrs. Merten for creating this game for us and congratulations to Mr. Pickles for winning the first round of Kahoot.  We will begin multiplication and division next week.  In reader's workshop we have wrapped up our launching unit and will begin our first interactive read aloud.  Reading journals are coming along and students are making good progress providing evidence in writing to support their thinking.  We are learning about latitude and longitude in Social Studies and will continue to work on these skills next week.

Loving Mighty Jack and the Goblin King!!!

We made terrariums to observe the water cycle.  We used the extra parts to start a compost pile and will observe it all year.  There was a little excitement before we began when a baby frog was spotted on the hard top.  It had camouflaged itself to blend in with the pavement.  

 Thank you to everyone who sent in extra plant clippings and moss to share, it helped tremendously.

We had a great visit with author Amy Nielander.  She told us all about her writing process when creating a book.  It was awesome!  If you  would like a book, please send in the order form that was sent home on Thursday, thanks!

We are bananas for book talks!

Puff Mobiles continue and we will race sometime in the next two weeks.
