We had a great visit from The Wylde Center last week!  They talked to us about water and the water cycle.  We made filters to try to clean dirty water, and even made bracelets to represent a molecule of water traveling through the water cycle!

We worked together to make factor rainbows for the numbers 1-100! they now hang on our wall as a 100's chart and are incredibly helpful when working with division.

Working in groups to talk about reading!

 Representing our knowledge of the water cycle!

We are working to represent the beliefs in the Preamble to the Constitution  by making images to represent each line!

 We had a tornado drill this week!  The administrators worked really hard to carefully place the students throughout the school in a safe space.  We brought books and did a great job sitting quietly, even though it was a long drill.

We created the water cycle in a bottle!  Students worked to represent their scientific knowledge by sketching and taking notes to explain their understandings.

We are working on factors and multiples in math, and have had a great time play a game called capture the factor!  Ask your child to tell you more!

 Wall ball is a hit on the playground!

We inquired into the basic phases of matter for water, and used cheerios to make models to represent the molecules in each phase and their movement!

 We broke the rules!!!  Students were given gum and asked to write about their thoughts and feelings before, during, and after.  We will use these graphic organizers on Monday to do a quick write about a small moment leading into our writing of personal narratives.

 A little time on Prodigy to celebrate our hard work this week!

 We had a great presentation from Yasmin about Mecca!  Ask your child to tell you more!

Writing on the tables for math challenge problems makes them even more fun!!  These problems challenged our brains in different ways and required us to practice multiplication, addition, subtraction, and order of operations.

 The two days of rain were no trouble at all!  We have lots of fun games to play for indoor recess!

 We had a fun day on Halloween!  We practiced using details from a text to infer the ending of a spooky story, reviewed simple machines with a Kahoot, and practiced our close reading skills by learning about the ways that Halloween is celebrated in other countries!
