Week in Review: March 19-23

This week in science, students have been exploring ecosystems. We started on Monday by exploring outside of our school to see what living and non-living things we could observe, and discussed their interdependency.




















 This study of ecosystems tied in perfectly with our field trip to Westcave Preserve on Tuesday.






























In math, students are learning about perimeter through lots of hands-on activities. Next week, we will move onto time and time intervals. 






In language arts, we have continued to work on our slideshow about our PBL research on endangered animals. We also worked on different verb tenses, including past, present and future. On Friday, we spent some time looking over our STAAR ready practice tests and thinking about the questions that we missed and why.


In social studies this week, we learned about the efficiency of an assembly line. We did this by creating our own assembly line to build bookmarks. First, students created one of their own to see how long it would take. Most students took 3-5 minutes to create just one bookmark. Then we formed three assembly lines, and in a matter of 10 minutes, these assembly lines were able to create 14-24 bookmarks!




















Just a reminder that next week, there is no school on Friday. Have a wonderful weekend!
