Mrs. Wright read to us on Monday for Community Readers Day!

Decorating "book tacos" for our door.


It was our second annual Door Decorating Contest!

Mrs. Pols and Mrs. Vise on Dress Up as Your Favorite Book Character Day - we were Marco and Polo, the main character cats in the book series, The Grand Escape.

On Wednesday, Mrs. Singer (mom to Mrs. Pols!) came dressed as Johnny Appleseed, read us a book about him and brought us apples!

Hermione and Anne of Green Gables!

More dressed up kiddos!

First Grade Team dressed up - Mo Willems' Elephant, Piggie and the Pigeon!

Cat in the Hat and Violet the Pilot



Experimenting with the big catapult

Careful measuring in a science experiment

We've been working on identifying the author's message in various books.

The 5th graders brought us Dr. Seuss Snack Sacks!

On Friday we reviewed our weekly genre wheel goals and shared out about how we did and set new goals for next week.

On Friday we worked with measuring yards.  Our estimating improved quickly!

We found out that measuring a classroom in student length is not as reliable as standard measures!

We are working on explaining how a writer makes a text interesting.

We loved hearing Dr. Seuss stories read by 5th graders.










Our last catapult experiment gave us the chance to refine all the skills we learned throughout the unit.



Students kept force/motion vocabulary booklets throughout our work.

We did a shorter version of the scientific method for a fun experiment with the big catapult.

We began our final informational book project, based on a sport or active hobby of our choice.
