Hello

What a great week.  We were packed with a lot of curriculum.  Monday we did have a little popcorn to congratulate the students for doing a great job during testing.  We also started switching classes for reading and math.  We continued talking and working on fairy tales, fables, and folktales.  In math we worked on addition and subtraction with more than one number and we are going to move onto multiplication!  In social studies we learned more about Ancient Greece.  What are the three column types? What kind of democracy did they have?  What kind of democracy do we have?  How are the Ancient Olympics and Modern Olympics the same or different?    In science we continued with rocks and minerals.  We made our own rock and then made observations such as, texture, color, shape, and hardness.  Some of my friends went a little crazy on the glitter!  Monday we are making pet rocks and then using them in a writing prompt, what point of view does your rock have?  What are some attributes of your pet rock?  Tuesday will be assessments in both social studies and science. 

Next week we will continue folktales and fables, start multiplication, branches of government, and soil.  Look for the "Peek at the Week" on Monday!

Big THANK YOU, to Mrs. Traub and Mrs. Riedemann for coming and helping with making our rocks!!
Thanks,
Mrs. Borg
