This Week In School: October 12 - 15

This week we read the story After the Fall by Dan Santat.  We continued to work on our discussion skills, and it was great to see a few more students gaining the confidence to participate!



We also continued working on our biographies and autobiographies, and practicing our picture book read aloud presentations.

In Math students learned about reading and creating misleading graphs.  They also learned about conducting surveys and practiced their skills in using Google Sheets to create graphs.


In Social Studies, students examined cause and consequence while investigating their chosen national and international issues.

We began a new unit on fitness in Gym.  The students learned about different elements of fitness and began working on improving their own fitness levels.  Over the next few weeks, students will be working in small groups to develop fitness routines.

The students enjoyed creating zentangle pumpkins in Art this week.  Next week we will be creating pictures using leaves found outside.  Students have each been given a ziplock bag to collect leaves at home and/or on the school yard.
