Shamrock Shenanigans and 4th Little Pig Building Challenge

Mammals

Today we investigated Mammals.  Did you know that mammals have a backbone, are warm-blooded and have live births? Did you know they also drink their mother's milk?

 Rubi finished her descriptive paragraph today and we decided to green screen her.  Check it out!

Busy Day!

To day, we learned how to green screen our monsters we made at the beginning of the week.

We are going to take our descriptive writing (about our monster) and record our voices on imovie.  Stay Tuned!
This afternoon, we continued to work at our Literacy Stations.  Some friends were writing stories, some groups were reading and others were using the piccollage app to create posters for handwashing (and uploading to their blog).
We have collected 174 cans so far...we have one more day!  Can we do it?
This week, for the GRA15, we read the book "Exclamation Mark" by Amy Krouse Rosenthal.  Thank you to Mrs. Denyer's class for posting their ideas too. Here is our padlet of ideas!  P.S.  We didn't get to finish it so you are more than welcome to add your ideas:)

Created with Padlet

Lastly, don't forget to hand in your Dance-a-Thon pledges and wear your costume tomorrow (no weapons or masks please).

Jump Rope for Heart and Green Screen

Please check your bags for Jump Rope for Heart Pledges.  They went home on Friday and we will be having the event on June 11th!  Last year, our school collected $5500 in pledges.  Way to go!

On Friday, we got into groups to research the six classifications of animals.  We created posters that showed the specific characteristics of those animal types.  We played a game today to see if we remembered those characteristics.  They did not include insects in the game but we consider them a classification of animals. Give it a try here!

Today, we spent some time learning about how to green screen and practiced with a partner.  Here are two examples from our class:) We are not experts yet but we sure had fun!
