Weeks 16, 17, & 18 Highlights!

What a busy month we had in January!  So many events, assemblies, the start of many new units, and holidays!  Some big events that we had in January were:

-Martin Luther King Jr. Assembly and service project - all of the 4/5 grade classes helped to clean the bathrooms at Leschi and made them beautiful for the rest of the school!  It was hard work, but we were inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and how he was a great role model for everyone.  He stood up for what was right and we want to do the same at Leschi.  As 4/5th graders, we need to set a good example to other students so here are some of the pictures of our hard-working students!







-Toy Company Store Opening - was a BLAST!  Mrs. Savage's 2/3 grade class came to purchase our products and many companies even sold out of all of the products!  We can't post the pictures that we took during the Toy Store Opening because there were other students here from a different class, but here are pictures before the opening and some of our products that we made.









-We visited the Seattle Public Library to hear Sundee Frazier speak.  She is the author of Brendan Buckley's Universe and Everything In It.  She was a very dynamic speaker and we were able to learn a lot about how she became a writer.  

-For writing, we started on writing our informational text based on all we learned about civics.  Students are working through our flash drafts and organizes our writing into subsections to clearly share what they know.  

-In math, we are finishing up fractions and beginning to learn about decimals!

-We also wrapped up our informational reading unit - learning all about text structures, and comparing and analyzing text. 

-Science is starting back up next week: Microworlds!
