A Poem in Your Pocket

We have been reading and writing poetry all month.  So we were thrilled when Ms. Patin announced A Poem in Your Pocket day.  Some students had a favorite poem and some students used one that they had written themselves.  Here some students decided to write more poetry during literacy workstations.  

Jelly Bean Graphs

The Superheroes had a little surprise fun today during math time.  Each student received an egg full of jelly beans.  We had to sort and then graph the results.  Final step,  write some questions based on the results.  

Test Day Recess!

Yes, you read it correctly.  Not the usual Rainy Day Recess.   We had to help our third, fourth and fifth graders this week by being flexible with the schedule.  The result was an indoor recess where students could choose any activity they wanted.  Thanks for being so caring, Superheroes!

Dance Party

The Superheroes have been working very hard as a team on their profile words.  We especially like it when others notice too!  That's why we have the jewel jar.  Whenever someone notices us being principled or caring etc.  We had to our jewel jar.  This week the jar is filled and we voted and decided on a dance party.  The dance party idea comes from a serious of books we have read.  In the book, the stuffed animals come to life and have a dance party together.  This party was special because our fifth grade buddies came too! 

It must have been fun because on the way out, a fifth grader was heard to exclaim,

 "This is the best party I have been to in two years!" 

 Superheroes know how to rock!!!

Gas Experiment

Our new planner: How the World Works, takes a look at matter and the different properties of matter.  It also explores changes in matter.  Today we combined a liquid and a solid that created a gas.  How do we know?  Well, we put the balloon on the bottle to show how the gas filled up the balloon.  We tried the experiment a few times experimenting with different amounts of liquid and solids. 

 More solid added to the liquid equals more gas created!

Morning Announcements Part II

Well, The Superheroes did a super job with morning announcements.  We were so excited and had many people come to watch us perform.  Everybody got here on time and everybody did a great job!

Morning Anouncements

Finally, it is our turn to do the morning announcements!  We are so excited.  We split the class into small groups and got to work.  We picked our thought for the day and practice what we would say. 

 Can not wait until next week!
