38 Days to Go...

Our classroom countdown is on. This year has flown by so fast. As of today there are 38 days left of school to go.

This week we celebrated Earth Day in both reading and science.  Our essential question was "How can we protect the Earth?"  We read about children in a classroom who entered a contest by making paper cranes out of recycled paper.  This story inspired us to try to make some origami animals too.  We made butterflies and fish.  

In science we finished up our habitat projects.  Then we started on an Earth Day book.  Look for some pictures of those next week.  Here are some of the habitat posters. 



We are still practicing with money in math.  Next week we will add bills to our lessons.  We will be having a unit assessment on money next week.  

The students wrote another opinion writing piece this week.  This one made me hungry.... The topic was to write about the most delicious dessert and try to convince a friend to eat it.  Yum!!

Looks like spring is finally here!!  Enjoy the weekend.
