Superstar

What a great week!  We started the week by making candy cells and ended the week with a visit from the Wylde Center.  Here are some pictures from our visit and our progress on our Museum Projects.

Don't forget that the Math-A-Thon starts today at 3 pm!  The classes with the most points each day get announced on the morning announcements and the teacher gets to wear a cape!  I want to be a superstar and wear a cape every day!

Study Guides

I will send home the study guides tomorrow (Thursday, 10/20).  I'm also attaching them here.  You will see the social studies, science, and math.  

Have a great Wednesday (not Tuesday)!  :)

I Want Candy!

It was a fun afternoon of finally getting to put our cell models together.  Here are some pictures from the fun!

Changes

We will be doing candy cells on Tuesday afternoon.  Our schedule is much better for this activity on Tuesday.  I'm looking forward to the fun!

Hard to Say I'm Sorry

What an amazing week!  We've been so busy this week that I haven't been able to post each day.  Here are some pictures from our week.

Bread Mold Experiment Results

The start of Museum Exhibits

Book Club Plot Sketching.

Super Hero Day!  

I'm Alive!

We began to investigate structures that make us who we are.  Students were shown a number of items and had to determine if the items were made up of cells.  Students did a gallery walk around to answer the questions:  Is it made up of cells?  If so, why?  If not, why not?  We struggled to determine the composition of water (not made up of cells) and a cork (made up of cells).

I'm also ready for the 5 Ave 5K on Saturday!  I've got a new T-shirt and a purple outfit ready to go.  Please let me know if I will see you there.

Bread Mold

Today we set up an experiment to see what impact a variety of items in our world will have on the growth of a microorganism.  Students will be observing slices of bread for several days to see what impact sugar, hand sanitizer, salt, Fabreze, pepper, and bubbles have on the rate of mold growth.  Watch out for some pictures over the course of the week to see what is happening with our experiment!
