Superheroes to the Rescue!

This week in writing our topic was to write a narrative about yourself as a superhero.  We had some interesting adventures and even more interesting villians.  Then the students created an image of themselves as a superhero.

Our essential question this week was "How Can We Protect the Earth."  We read a story about a class that wanted to enter an art contest but did not have enough art supplies. They decided to reuse scrap paper from the class to make paper cranes and in turn won the contest.  This theme tied into our science lessons this week when we celebrated Earth Day.  We made brainstormed ways to save the Earth and then made posters.

In math, we continued learning about shapes and their attributes.  We added some 3-dimensional shapes to our shape booklet.

We started a new unit in social studies and voting for community leaders.  We did a mock election in class and voted for a candidate based on inside games.  The candidates positions were either Four Corners or Seven-Up.  Four corners won and at the end of the day we played the game.

We had a special visitor this week.  His name was Bill and he brought along some friends...scary friends if you ask me.  He told us how these animals would never harm people, but people are harmful to them.

Have a great weekend.
