Week 22

We've started studying force and motion in science this week.  Students created tops out of different sized disks and straws and determined both the force and the motion in the experiment.  See their top designs and hear their scientific thinking on Seesaw!

After a few weeks of studying non-fiction text features, the class worked together to complete a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting two non-fiction books on the same topic.

We've started writing how-to books in writers workshop!  Students are practicing writing step by step directions, creating teaching pictures, using transition words, and writing endings.  Some book topics so far:

How To Wrap and Deliver a Present

How to Make a Bed

How to Brush Your Teeth

How to Make a Pizza

How to Play With a Dog

How to Do The Breaststroke 

Mrs. Wolinsky introduced us to BlueBots! She let us explore ways to program them and intentionally make them move and arrive at designated locations.

We will be celebrating the 100th day of school next week!  Please help your child count out 100 items to bring to school for the big day!
