From the classroom: (It's long - important school info at the end!)
In math we are working through finding the most important words in a word problem and then ensuring the correct numbers are used to solve the problem. Let's not forget, we must write a sentence to complete the answer!
In English students are working in their groups to complete their final summary of "Fatty Legs". Next week we will start the art portion of this project. Students need to bring a box to school. The boxes range in size from a standard width shoe box, up to a printer paper box. They will only use recycled materials to create all the components of their diorama art, which can be brought in from home, starting on Monday.
Today in art we looked at art as a statement, which lead to our conversation around recycled art (art made from materials that would end up in a land fill) and how it can be used to draw peoples attention to the problem of plastic pollution around the planet. We will be using these concepts for the project explained above.
In Spanish we are starting to work with verbs and on Thursday we completed our guided reading.
In social we are currently on the grasslands region.
In science we are exploring the life cycle of project and reflecting on how the things we use everyday are made, used and discarded.
