Week 31
We’ve had yet another great week of
hard work and fun! The kids have really been putting in effort that shows just
how dedicate they are to their education. It makes my heart so happy to see the
kids excited about what we’re learning.
How far can you jump?
We’ve been working on data collection
and different ways to display the data that we’ve found. We started with a
whole class inquiry in “How far can you jump”. We collected our data by having
each kid in our class jump, measuring that jump, and then compiling a list of
how many students jumped what distance. We then decided to create a lien plot
to display our data. The kids then ventured out into their own groups to answer
a question. These questions consisted of: how many siblings do you have, how
many pets do you have, and a few other questions. The kids also created line
plots to display their data. You can check these line plots out in our hallways
(once state testing is over)!!!
Poetry
As you all have heard, we’ve been
diving into poetry and what type of author’s craft makes for the best poetry.
As the kids have learned about these different author’s crafts, they’ve been
experimenting with them and including them into their own pieces of writing.
Our kids have a real talent for writing poetry.
Book Club
Book club is still in full swing and
the kids are enjoying time to read with their classmates both inside and
outside of the classroom. We have been very lenient with the structure of book
club, but have discussed what it should look like, sound like, and feel like.
The kids have been doing a great job reading and pausing for conversation to
discuss what is or what they think will happen in the story. They’ve been great
with helping each other when they are stuck on tricky word or don’t understand
something from the story. Meeting for book club has become most of our favorite
part of the day!
It’s Electric…boogie woogie!
We had an amazing in school field study
to take a look at circuits and how they work. This was such an amazing
experience for the kids to apply what they’ve learned.
Spirit Week
We’ve revved up our minds and our
excitement levels for testing thanks to spirit week! I believe the most
excitement we received was from our amazing book buddies! They gave a huge
surprise on Friday as they came in with chants and cards to wish us good luck!
Getting Active
Our very own Zaria and Justus have
really been getting active outside of the classroom. The local newspaper
photographed Zaria as she skated down her block. Justus was getting down and
dirty as he played in a baseball game with the rest of his teammates.
Justus looks very focus!
