How To Writing

We just finished writing "All Abouts" and we are now doing "How To's".  The students each came up with their topic and wrote the steps to doing it.  They made a poster of the steps to go with their paragraph. 

Shoe Box Maze

We planted our seeds...put them in our box with a hole cut in top...had them sitting in the window.  Mrs. Larson's sprouted, Mrs. McColloch's grew and ours...NOTHING!!   After a week, I planted a few more seeds, finally we got a sprout.   Two weeks later...we thought it would never happen.  FINALLY it grew!  The kids were so excited!  We discussed what was happening and how the plant is looking for like and growing in the direction of the light.  Everyone wrote their results of our experiment.  We will keep it going.  We have 16 more days to see if it grows out of the box.

Rainy Day Recess

Rain, rain go away

So we can go outside to play



Wow!

I have not posted in a while.  OOPS!  We are beginning our All About books in writing today.  It should be fun!  In Science, we are learning about plants and last week we did our Shoe Box maze experiment, we are all hoping it works.  Will send pics if it does. 

What a Gorgeous Day!!

We took advantage of the beautiful weather and had reader's workshop outside.  Reading poetry is much better that way! 

Nonfiction Book Clubs

This week for book clubs we are doing biographies.  Today we went to the computer lab and used a program to make timelines of our person we read about.  They did a great job. 

Measurement

In math, we are learning about measuring with yards and meters.  We started out our lesson using nonstandard units of measurement.  Using our bodies we measured the length of our room.  From the door to the wall our room is 6 children long.
