Student Led Conferences
The Soaring Pilots did a great job sharing their planners and knowledge about communities and water. It was wonderful to see the excitement the students had when taking their parents for a tour around the room and teaching them about clouds, Daily 5, Found Poetry, saving water and how we try to soar everyday. Well Done, Soaring Pilots!Found Poetry
After creating the Found Poetry, the students worked together to create an image that matched the words. Come by our classroom to read the finished poems.Literary Collages
Today, The Soaring Pilots worked on creating literary collages. We read the story Whales by Cynthia Rylant and discussed the mental images the words painted for us. Next, we took the words of the story and put them together in a new way. Words were cut apart and manipulated and rearranged until a new poem emerged.
Water Treatment Trip
What an amazing trip! Did you know that Houston uses 70 million gallons of water a day!! We took a trip through the water filtration plant. We started in Lake Houston, through the pipe to the mixing basin. What a great experience! Thanks parents for riding on the bus and assisting.Making it Rain!
Did you know that there are three basic types of clouds? They are stratus, cumulus and cirrus. Out of those three, only one cloud produces heavy rainstorms. That cloud is known as the cumulonimbus! We experimented today to find out how many droplets does it take before it rains.
Genre
This week The Soaring Pilots spent some time exploring genres. We looked at myths, legends, folktales and fairy tales. This is all to prepare us to write stories for our storytellers!Field Day - Here we come!
Check out our original design by Ellie! I hope you have marked your calendar because this years Field Day will be December 16th! We are guaranteed to have cool weather!
