Week of December 16

As readers we are focused on how a specific comprehension strategy, inferring, helps us better understand the text. This is a game called Inference! It is a lot of fun! We are also reading a non-fiction article on the Titanic.

For word work this week, we are reviewing previous patterns.
We love audio books!
These students are showing respect for self and others as they read independently. We are working on staying focused on our job and not disturbing the learning of others.
These are questions we use to help ourselves and to guide others as support crew.
This is a picture of one of our support crew members helping during pod.
Some students presented their robots from the challenge.
This is a picture of a student presenting their creation from hour of code. We are using a fun section in Khan Academy.
Do you know what attributes are? What are some properties of quadrilaterals you would use to describe them to a buddy playing guess my rule?
We are reviewing our Second Step skills! We are practicing how to solve problems and be assertive.
This sheet we keep at home. We cut out each strategy and practice one specific skill each day. We are discussing our progress with our family each evening.
Do you know what these are? We watched a video as part of our Wondering Wednesday! Fire ants and properties of matter...cool!
Wondering Wednesday!! We are learning what a testable question is and then together, we created one! We have many wondering questions in our science notebooks for future inquiry investigations! Every time we have a new question, we add it!
Our math focus has been geometry! We love playing with power polygons!
These researchers shared how they programmed this robot!
We are loving our read aloud text!! It's all about friendship and is connected to the Wizzard of Oz!
We are coding! Persevering while problem solving is important!
One of our math menu items is to review factors and multiples while creating arrays.
Creating new polygons with power polygons.
This is a creation someone made on a fun geometry site Mrs. Randall added to our math menu!
Our element cubes are hanging! We love to read them and get some good book recommendations!

This is Nolan's work about being embarrassed, jealous, and scared. We are working on working through strong emotions.

We did a test on summative knowledge assessment there were questions about second step.

Today in math we watched a video clip of a song about polygons! The video was called just a square.

Today we worked with our k buddies on a app called my story. We had fun with our k buddies. At the end we had hot chocolate.

Mr.lane talked about the annoying scale and compassion scale he was seeing what we where on the annoying scale and the compassion scale. Today we played home made cherades.

 

Today we got our class portraits we received our self portraits a month ago. We hope you like your class portrait.

Mrs.Randall got a lot of presents from our class. She got a book from Sydney and she got a candle from Taylor and Sydney.Nolan gave her erasable pens.

Today we made our Christmas ornaments this is Emma's Christmas ornement. Make sure they put them on the tree. We attached a piece of sting and our self portraits and said merry Christmas 2013-2014 is what Emma's says.

Today we did our science presentations this is abbey's work on the presentation.Her research question was how does oceans have bigger waves than lakes? The answer was because of the moons pull of gravity.

This is Sydney's presentation her research question is how many moons does Saturn has and Saturn has 18 moons the biggest moon is Titan. Her favorite two is Titan and phoebe she likes Titan because of its color and she likes phoebe because of its strange shape.
Happy holidays
