Weekly Update 3/9/19

The children have finished making their posters, Google Slides presentations, and dioramas for social studies. On Thursday, groups practiced presenting their work to each other in order to prepare for our Native American Museum presentation to first grade students on Monday. Here are some pictures. We had a lot of students absent Thursday, so more pictures to come next week!

The students participated in a 3 Act Math lesson called It All Adds Up! in order to review our chapter on money. They watched a video that set up a mystery to be solved about what combination of coins went into a bank to equal $1.00. We discussed what we noticed and what we wondered after watching the video. After getting a few clues, they worked in partners to solve the mystery!

In reading, our Scholastic News helped celebrate Dr. Seuss's recent birthday by taking a closer look at his book The Lorax. It turns out the character may have been based on a monkey!
