In Reading Workshop, the students learned how to label the important pictures in their Star Storybooks to help them to remember the characters and retell the important events in the stories.  

Engineering Shelters to Protect an Animal from the Sun (Day 1)

In science, student engineers were hard at work with their teammates planning and designing a shelter that would protect an animal from the sun.  The animals were made together with the class from pipe cleaners and UV beads.

ABC School

During Phonics, students were super excited to celebrate all that they have learned about the alphabet chart as word scientists along with some of their new snap words.  They all had so much fun becoming teachers and sharing all of their knowledge with their mini Mabels in ABC School!

The Reality About Rectangles

In math, the students enjoyed examining, describing, and comparing a variety of rectangles.  They learned the specific characteristics of rectangles including that a square is a special kind of rectangle.  Afterwards, they searched through the rectangles that they collected to find actual rectangles and squares to add to our class collage.
