Week #9 October 21-25

We have many things to share this week!  Pictures are included throughout this post.  You'll see highlights from our celebration where we painted rocks & shells, our first PTO Maker Time session focusing on balance, and our CRAZY CLOTHES ensemble.

This week we learned:

• how to use a Read/Write Google feature for speech-to-text.  We'll use this when we publish our narratives next week.
• what maps have that help us read them, different types of maps, and steps to make our own maps as cartographers.
• how to write comparisons in our narratives to add detail and interesting imagery, and to try new leads based on dialogue, setting or questions.

This week we experienced:

• our 4th Marky Mark Celebration where we painted rocks and shells.  Thank you Mrs. Donoughue for sharing some of your treasures.

• our first PTO Maker Time with Vicki, Shane, Aili and Courtney.  They led us through exploratory activities using balance scales with different objects, fitness items to test our physical balance, and a challenge to use 4 given items to create a balanced product.  Thank you for your time and energy to guide us in our discoveries!

• 
  

• reading groups with Mrs. Hock, and managing our work as independent students during our reading block.
• word study groups with either Mrs. Hock, Mrs. Ransom, Mrs. Belisle or Mrs. Blakely.
