Math All Around Us!!

We have been very busy this past week mastering our math objectives! Each day our class

was set up with math stations for one objective. We rotated around the room

exploring and learning each objective.

Program

Imagine our surprise when we arrived in the cafeteria to find pilots! Needless to say, The Soaring Pilots were very excited. We got a front row seat and asked so many questions. Afterwards, we stuck around to take pictures and ask many more questions.

Solar System Presentations

Students worked in cooperative groups to create a visual and oral presentation.

How The World Works

We are soaring to another planner: How the World Works. As an introduction to our central idea that humans explore a solar system seeking to explain the natural world, we spent some time discovering what our solar system is like. The students used fiction and expository texts along with computers to research one aspect of the solar system.

Valentine's Day

The Soaring Pilots had a great time creating one of a kind, original valentines boxes! Mine had soaring pilots all over it, of course! We had a great time sharing treats with each other. We also got to judge our neighbor's (Mr. Nyugen) valentine car parade.

Huh? By Gloria

I was just reading The Amazing Adventures of Reading on the couch. It was such a good book until my mother called me to come and eat. I slipped my bookmark in my book and went to eat. Huh! Why did I have to stop reading. I wish I were reading all day and night! Then suddenly my book flew open and sucked me right in. I woke up feeling strangely flat. I looked up and there was a mirror in front of me. I screamed. I was a bookmark. I was the bookmark that I designed. I screamed again.
"Honey wake up!" my mother yelled. I woke up and jumped around. "Am I sill a bookmark?" "What?," my mom asked as I looked in the mirror. I sighed as I saw in the mirror that I was a little girl. "Never mind."

Mrs. Baird's Bakery

I think this field trip counts as one of our favorites! Unfortunately, we can not show you any amazing photos of the factory because we were not allowed to take any. You will just have to ask your child for the details. It was a great way to end our planner on economics. Upon returning to school we decided to write letters to say thank you. Here are some excerpts:

*I had a spectacular experience.

*I really enjoyed the tour you gave me and I learned alot of new things.

*Thanks for answering all our questions in a way we could all understand it.

*Thank you for letting us see all those capital resources.

*But now you guys use captial resources (which are machines) instead of human resources.

*When the bus pulled up to the factory it smelled so good it felt like I was in heaven.

*I really appreciate that you took some time our of your day to show us the factory!
