Our Week in Review

This week we took our first unit test in math. Everyone did very well! If you haven't seen your child's test, check the backpack! It was sent home on Thursday.

Today we began making our Puff Mobiles and worked cooperatively in groups. Mr. Adams came to talk about engineering. He is an engineer and he helped us with our plan for building. Our job is to build a vehicle that can go half the gym's length, powered by wind. We will be "PUFFING" to get the vehicle across the gym. Our race date has not been set.

Today we had our first extra recess! We earned 15 points and had recess after lunch. There were some kindergarteners out with us too! We also worked on our bio poems.

This week during Open Circle we talked about listening and talking in class. We shared how talking when we're supposed to be working is disruptive to everyone else. Today was a great day!

In reading, we discussed choosing Just Right books. Look for a full post on this topic soon. We also listened to two books this week written by Chris Van Allsburg. We compared the plot of Jumanji and Zathura and we found that the plot was very similar.

Overall, this was a great week! We are really starting to work together like a class!
