You're It

Here is our "It," from two weeks ago.  #goodforyou #keepitup

You're It

Here is this week's, "You're It!"  #goodforyou #keepitup

A Big Bite

We received letters from our friends in Mexico this week.  It is so exciting to get packages in the mail!! Students are in the process of writing letters to send to Mexico.

We have started a unit on plant structures and animal adaptations in science.  This experiment involved different insect mouths and food sources.  It was a highlight of the week for many students.




Sometimes a new haircut is just what you want!! I have his permission to post these two photos, Before and After.  Either way, we all love this guy's flow. :)

In math we are working on addition and subtraction of fractions, mixed numbers and improper fractions.  These are new skills for students and everyone is working hard to master these concepts. In reading we have been reading and researching dog breeds and will be writing persuasive essays about the best dog for our families.  Next week, we will finish the dog unit with Dog Day on Thursday (a note went home today) and start a new interactive read aloud.  In poetry workshop we are reading the book, Gone Fishing by Tamera Will Wissinger and will be writing poems based on childhood memories.  In project based learning, students have begun researching national parks and will continue this work for several weeks.  
Have a great weekend!

A Big Bite

What a great concert we had this week!  Everyone sounded awesome on their recorders and the singing was incredible!






We have been working on fractions in math and this will continue through March.  Parents are always welcome to join us for math class!  Using manipulatives is a great way to learn about fractions!





In reading, we continued working on reading nonfiction and set goals for the new year with clear action steps.  The students are excited to persevere on their goals.



Our new science unit, Animal adaptations and plant structures kicked off with a Skype Visit to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West! It was THE BEST SKYPE visit we have ever experienced.  Ask your child all about it.

Do you like mini golf?  We do!! We were able to design our own holes on a mini golf course in the gym during PE this past week.  Coach Banks even scored a hole in one on one of the holes we designed.  We all cheered when he made it!





Our week ended with a mini lesson on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his impact on American history.  It was also CRAZY hair day.  Well done Room 23!  If there had prizes, we would have come in first place!  


Have a great weekend!
