Game Celebration!

We will be having a whole school "paws" points celebration on Friday.  Each class will be playing games in their classrooms for the first 30 minutes of school.  Students are invited to bring in their favorite board game to play with the class!

Science!

We started our first science unit this week about force and motion.  We went for a force and motion walk yesterday.  We have also watched some video clips and read a book about force and motion.  As a class, we came up with definitions for force and motion.  Here are the video clips if you want to check them out:

Ok Go!

Publishing in Action

We have been working on publishing our persuasive writing pieces.  Students revised and edited their writing using checklists.  Today they worked on coloring in their illustrations.  Tomorrow we will make covers for the books.

Kindness!

We are trying to catch people being kind in our classroom and recognizing their kindness by recording the act on a kindness paper and hanging it on our Wall of Kindness.

Duck or Rabbit? You Decide!

We read the book Duck! Rabbit!  Students then had to decide which animal they saw and support it with reasons from the book.  They also got to cut out and decorate their own Duck or Rabbit to support their thinking.  Check out all their hard work on our bulletin board!
