Week 19

Wow!  What a crazy week!  Between morning delays, snow days and winter activities our schedule was a bit different, but our 3rd grade otters are learning how to become flexible.  In math we finished our first module in unit 4: measuring time and mass.  We are becoming better at telling time and learning how to compare mass.  Our writers are working diligently to finish up non fiction teaching books.  Many students are in the final phases of typing up their chapters.  In reading workshop students are reading biographies and writing reports on what they have learned.  The essential question for our Mystery Science lesson was, "What kind of animals might there be in the future?"  Students worked together to create, "designer dogs."  On Friday we enjoyed a chilly afternoon in our forest Friday classroom.  Students were amazed by the changes they found!
