In the story, Officer Buckle visited schools and taught them safety tips. After we read the book, we recorded the tips from the book and brainstormed some tips of our own. Then the students were given a written assignment to choose their favorite tip and write why it is the most important, stating three reasons.
In reading this week we practiced identifying the author's purpose. The stories we read this week were all about energy. We learned a lot about the sun's energy and also how wind provides power, too.
In math, we are finishing up our geometry unit. Next week we will be having a test. We will be reviewing shapes, fractions and arrays.
We continued reading Charlotte's Web this week. We were finally introduced to Charlotte and learned that the plan for poor Wilbur is that he is to be eaten!! Uh Oh! Will Charlotte be able to save him? Since we are reading Charlotte's Web, Mrs. Selby designed a great project for us in computers. Each student was assigned a different kind of spider to research. EWWW!!
In honor of the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, we read a book called The Wall. Then we made a booklet about what Memorial Day means to us.
Enjoy your family and the great weather this holiday weekend.
