For our Valentine's Day snack, we made Sweetheart Buddies and although it wasn't the most nutritious snack, it sure was delicious! It got pretty hectic with everyone helping to make it and I forgot to take action shots, but here is the finally product! We had it with some strawberry milk... yum.
Updates:
-In our current writing unit, students continued revising their Civics informational pieces and focused on writing strong introductions and conclusions. All students should be finished with their first drafts and ready to start publishing this week!
-All math groups are working on their current decimals units!
-Students were excited to begin working with their very own microscopes during science this week! They had the chance to examine small pictures called microfiche under microscopes and will start observing microscopic organisms soon.
-For our fantasy unit in reading, we continued our read aloud of Gregor the Overlander and met with our book club groups. Students are expected to finish their reading and the book club assignment by the time the book club meets each week. There is a lot of accountability within the group to finish and produce quality work and have a meaningful conversation.
-Last but not least, this week, Ms. Trapp taught a philosophy lesson! Students participated in their first ever philosophical discussion. They had a chance to hear some of Plato's Myth of Gyges and talk about what makes something right or wrong. We will continue to have philosophy sessions once in a while with Ms. Trapp - it really makes them think!
Reminders:
-Black History Biography Projects should be well under way at home. If not, please start now! Rubrics will go home this week!
-100th Day of School is on Wednesday, February 18th!
