Week of October 27th

I can't believe this is the last week of October.


In math this week we finished up Unit 2.  This week we made a Sea Star quilt and talked about the patterns we could see and practiced counting by 5s.  Here is a picture of what we made:

Next week we will begin Unit 3 which is focused on more adding and subtracting and counting and comparing numbers.

We finished reading aloud the Red Clover books this week.  The winner for our classroom was the book, "The Day the Crayons Quit" by Drew Daywalt.  Here is the graph showing our votes:

In Science we continue to learn about Material Engineering for those students in my room who will be looking at how to create mortar that makes strong walls.  In Mrs. KillKelley's room students are learning about, Chemical Engineering and are making playdough and then improving it so it is better.  In Miss Blair's room they are learning about Agricultural Engineering and will be making plant pollinators.

In writing we continue to learn about how to bring our stories to life.  This week we talked about how we can add how people feel or think to bring those stories to life.

I hope everyone has a nice and safe Halloween!!  Don't eat too much candy:)

Enjoy your weekend,
Nancy
