Today we got a veggie puzzle paper from Kristi when she brought our snack.  It was a word search and work scramble.  We are working hard on practicing subtraction with regrouping.  We have math games we can play.  Don't forget our Christmas concert on Tuesday, December 4 at 7:00.  And don't forget to read our blog!

iMovie Fun!

One of our guided reading groups has been busy making iMovie trailers for a book we recently finished reading: Stuart Goes to School by Sara Pennypacker.  They used the iPads and the iMovie app to shoot themselves acting out scenes from the story.  The students also had to write words that described the main events of the story.  They had a TON of fun with this project and were very excited to share them with our blog readers!  Enjoy!

In PE the class played Foods.  It is just like Fats.  In science we learned about simple machines.  We made a lever out of a wooden ruler and a pencil.  We had to lift a book.  It was easier to lift when the pencil was closer to the book.

Today we learned a new math game.  It is called Clear the Board.  One of our small groups is making a book on Scribble Press.  Another group is making a movie trailer in iMovie.  We took our spelling buddy tests.  There were lots of good grades!  Thanksgiving is next week.  We have the door decorating contest today.  We hope we win!

We did a science experiment today.  We had to try to keep a cup of water warm using foil, paper towel, or plastic wrap.  We finished decorating our door for Charlotte's Web.  The judging for the door contest is tomorrow.

We did writing number sentences in Math then had to regroup to add.  In Science we had to come up with a way to prevent our ice cubes from melting.  We used the iPads to sketch our design then we tried it. Book orders are due tomorrow.  The Veteran's Day program is tomorrow morning.
