Addition/Subtraction Games, Movement, Dance and Narratives
Here is a great site to practice your addition and subtraction facts!
Math Playground
We made a video about ways we move. Check it out!
Today we had a challenge to move a wooden block off a sheet of paper using objects in a bin. Stay tuned for videos of our challenge!

Today we listened to the story 'Giraffes Can't Dance' before beginning our dance unit. We had many ideas about the author's message but the main one was that everyone can dance if they find the right music!
As we begin to get ready for writing our own narratives, we listened to 'The Best Story' by Eileen Spinelli. Some of us are going to write a mystery stories and others are definitely going to write an adventure. We will begin to write our rough drafts using Google Docs on Wednesday:)

Burkina Faso, All About Nduku and Movement
Ryan's Well Foundation school challenge for this year was to help raise funds to provide clean water and sanitation for the people in Burkina Faso. A few weeks ago, students were asked to research an aspect of the country in Africa and post it to our Burkina Faso padlet. Take a look at all the things we learned about this nation!
Today, we finished our Shared Writing of an Adventure Story. The main characters are Abigail and Rose. They are both trapped on a deserted island! We needed to make sure our story had a beginning, middle and an end (and we NEVER put THE END in our story!). You will notice that we used a Shape Go Map template and Google Docs to get our thoughts down on paper before we began to write our narrative. Here it is! Enjoy!
In Science we continue to investigate movement and brainstormed objects that demonstrate different forms of movement.
We learned a lot about Nduku's family today. Here is her Google Slideshow presentation!

What We Have Been Up To!
In Religion, we are learning that the Mass is a sacrifice and are exploring our faith.
In Language, we continue to look at writing narratives. Today we watched a short video and used it to inspire our writing. Together we used Google Docs to organize our story. Tomorrow we will take our narrative organizer and write an awesome story together!
We are continuing to explore our Movement unit in Science. Today, we had to draw a picture using position words. It was harder than you would think! In Math we are exploring 3D Figures at our stations, as well as addition/subtraction with regrouping.
