Week in Review: October 27-31

This week we continued our study of elapsed time and money in math. We will have a test over these skills on Wednesday or Thursday.









In language arts, we published our personal narratives and had a fun Halloween Friday of writing spooky stories! We began to explore the features of non-fiction text such as table of contents, glossary, photos and captions, etc. and discussed how they help a reader understand informational text.

In science, we are jumping into our PBL project with this driving question: How can we educate others about the effects of plastic on earth and inspire them to make a change? We brainstormed questions that we think we will need to research and have worked hard at categorizing those questions so we can form inquiry groups that will focus on one specific aspect to research. 





On Friday, we spent our enrichment time creating T-shirt designs to be considered for our official "Earth Warriors" T-shirt. The third grade class will be voting on these soon! We also enjoyed meeting with our kindergarten buddies Friday morning.

We were treated to a jazz performance on Friday afternoon, thanks to the PTA. Speaking of the PTA, we got some great news on Friday. Our class tied with Mrs. Swyers class in a context to have the most members join the school PTA. We will be treated to a popcorn party next week! Thanks for your support!  I hope everyone has a great weekend, and a safe Halloween tonight. Remember to set your clocks back one hour when you go to bed Saturday night. I'm looking forward to the extra hour of sleep!
