The week before Thanksgiving break we had a chance to read the story Agate by Joy Morgan Dey. We spent time talking about the lesson Agate the moose learned in the story that each and everyone of us is special!
Then students painted their own self-portraits with watercolors just like the ones in the book.
We also had a visit from a librarian from the Roseville Public Library.
She read a story to us and then shared about the special library card party coming up in January. If you haven't done so already you can turn in your child's library card application ASAP!
We ended our short week by playing Learning Bingo with our 6th grade buddies...it was lots of fun!
This past week we learned all about apples! We started the week off exploring the different parts of an apple including: seed, skin, flesh, core, bottom, and stem.
We also did a taste test and then graphed which apple our class liked the best.
Later on in the week we brainstormed about apples by thinking about our five senses.
We also learned about floating and sinking and made a predication about whether we thought the apple would float or sink when put in the water. We found out that apples float!
At the end of the week students used balance scales to find out which objects were heavier or lighter than an apple.
We also had a chance to learn what a tall tale is and read the story of Johnny Appleseed and sorted facts vs. fictions about him. Then students had a chance to draw and write about Johnny Appleseed on their own.
In math we've been practicing counting and writing numbers to 100. On Friday students worked with a partner to put together 100 chart puzzles.
