We have begun our mystery unit and looking deeper at comparing and contrasting topics.  Students are doing a great job.

We took our unit 7 assessment today as well.  On Monday we will begin unit 8.  

Indoor recess is for the birds!

We have been stuck inside this week and it has not been fun.  It has been too cold to go outside and we suffer in class.  We have had some difficult afternoons.  Students are very chatty and the volume has gone out of control!

BUT.....We are doing some interesting wring about comparing and contrasting.  We will begin some mystery stories tomorrow and use our stills to solve the puzzle.

In Math we will assess our understanding on unit 7 on Friday.

We had fun experimenting with the Static charges we can make with wool and our hair.

Static Electricity

We made Salt and Pepper dance!   Ask your child what we did in science to make it happen....hint: balloon, wool, salt and pepper!

We have been finishing up our informational books and they are looking good!  Most students chose to type them and add their text features from the internet.  Ask them who they researched.
