We had a busy week this week with finishing up many things before the break.
We finished our read aloud Seven Wonders of Sassafrass Springs.
We also finished up some math activities involving money, perimeter and addition of 3 digits.
We read a story called The Patchwork Quilt and spent time discussing vocabulary from the story. We dictionaries and context clues to determine the meaning of words.
I shared my own patchwork quilt that was given to me almost 40 years ago by a neighbor when I moved away from the neighborhood.
In Science we designed carts this week. We used words like design, engineer, problem/solution, improve, and constraints as we worked to find a design that met the challenge given. This is the padlet the groups made to share their first creations. We will continue with this engineering challenge after vacation. Click to see the designs!
Pajama Day and fireside reading! When we finished our padlet today, we listened to the high school band and chorus play holiday music in the hallway. Then we sat by the "fire" and read our books.
Many thanks to our parents who came in and helped us out at our Holiday Party today! (Mr. Sinis, Mrs. Shaughnessy, Mrs. Gorham, Mrs. Guindon, and Mr. Tirrell) We had fun playing Pin the Nose on the Snowman, eating waffles, and making our tree ornaments. Everyone enjoyed it!
