Fall Recess Fun!

The Dissolving Race!

Students looked at the properties of both granulated sugar and a sugar cube. They used their new learning to make predictions as to which form of sugar would dissolve faster when stirred into water. Students worked with a partner to have a dissolving race to see if their predictions were accurate!

Stellaluna Culminating Project!

After finishing our close read of Stellaluna, students created a culminating project in which they included a story summary, Stellaluna's point of view, adjectives to describe the character throughout the story, important events, and the author's message!  

Crazy Hat Day!

Similes

We used the illustrations from the book, Serious Trouble by Arthur Howard, to help us learn about similes!  We discussed that a simile is a comparison between two things using the words "like" or "as". We used similes to describe the dragon from the story!  Next, students created an illustration of a dragon and used similes to describe their own dragon! 

Point of View

We continued our close read of Stellaluna and "dug deeper" to find information, infer, and discuss the points of view of each character in the text on different topics including eating bugs, sleeping, and flying at night!

Bartlett Arboretum

We had a great time learning about seeds and how seeds travel on our field trip to the Bartlett Arboretum!
