What's goin' on this week?

It's been a busy week!  Here are some things we've been working on...​​
November 7 - 10
  • Mealworms We began studying the life cycle of mealworms this week!  Each student picked out their very own mealworm to observe.  Mealworms are the larva stage of the Darkling Beetle.  We will examine and learn more about this creature's life cycle through reading, experiments, games, and discussions!
October 31 - November 4
  • Diary of a... After studying Doreen Cronin's "Diary of a ________" books, we wrote our own diaries, modeled after hers.  Just like Cronin, we included true animal facts, wrote from the perspective of an animal, and included characters from Cronin's other books!
  • US Symbols Using the internet and library books, students conducted a research project on an American Symbol of their choosing.  After researching, each student created a brochure giving details about their symbol.  Students included illustrations, facts, and source citations in their brochures.
  • Ways to Make a Number Art - Who knew math could be so creative?!  To extend our practice with decomposing numbers, each student chose a number between 10 and 20.  Then they wrote their number in the middle of the page and surrounded it with all of the possible math facts that can be used to make that number.  The trickiest part of this project was figuring out how many different sections to divide their paper into!
