Science With Mrs. Munk

Mrs. Munk came to our class to teach us about dirt for science.  We found out that it is very important to us and plants.  We were able to use a magnifying glass to study what dirt looks like up close.  She also read an interesting book called Digging on Dirt by Rena Korb.

Our Surgeons

All students became contraction surgeons.

Contraction Surgery Recovery Area

This week we studied contractions.  We learned that two words make up contractions.  Everyone became a contraction surgeon and made a contraction.

Jump Rope Team

On Friday the jump rope team from Churbusco came to visit and show us their skills with the jump ropes.  This was part of our Character Counts Convocation and helped us gear up for Jump Rope for Heart.

All About Penguins

The students have been researching information about penguins.  They are using the information to write an All About Penguins book.  They have been learning about the genre of nonfiction and the text features included in this genre.

Published Writing

The students worked hard this week to publish their realistic fiction stories.  Their pieces will will be displayed in our hallway.  They are proud of their work.
