Fire Department, Globes, and Pollination...Oh My!

It is amazing how much we were able to accomplish last week in school. The following photos are just the amazing things we did on Friday! 


We enjoyed a visit from the Elsmere Fire Department.


We had lots of fun making globes.











We pollinated our Wisconsin Fast Plants using real bees!



This week will be just as busy! 

Reading
   We will continue our work with Charlotte's Web. The students are making some wonderful observations and most importantly they are providing textual evidence to support their thinking. We will also begin our guided reading book groups this week. 

Writing
   The students have been working on writing personal narratives using a storytelling voice. We will learn how to punctuate dialog this week. We will also try to edit our work as we write. I hope that you are enjoying our Friday Letters!

Math
   We will finish our addition and subtraction unit this week. The students will take a chapter test on Thursday. On Friday we will begin working on MULTIPLICATION!!!!

Social Studies
   We will paint our globes on Tuesday. Then we will work on creating a landform dictionary. We will be using the computers to research various landforms.

Science
   We are on the final few lessons for our Pollination unit. We will learn about the parts of a flower and we will make our final observations. We will also harvest our seed pods. 

Word Work
    This week we will learn about three more rules for changing a singular noun to a plural noun.
