During reading we continued to research dogs, then we shared the research with each other. We will be writing persuasive essays next week. Students continue to share the books they love through book talks. I am encouraging every student to do this at least one time this year. It is a great opportunity to practice speaking in front of the class about a topic that is comfortable.
We received an exciting package in the mail this week from our new friends in Mexico! Every fourth grader received a letter! We are excited about our new connection, and students will be writing back to their new friends this week.
We began our study of the Northeast Region of the U.S. Students are researching different aspects of the United States with their peers, and they will be creating presentations to show their learning. Students will be presenting their information to the class in the next few weeks.
During Science this week, we explored adaptations of insects. We learned about different types of insect mouths and then simulated food gathering with these types of mouths. We then had an exciting visitor in our class on Friday. This creature was on a desk when we arrived. After some research and help from Mrs. Brown (thanks Mrs. Brown!) we have learned that this is a house centipede. Can you see some of its adaptations?
