Monday, September 27

Hi everyone,
If all goes well this week, the next post will actually be written by the students, instead of me!  We harvested our first round of cucumbers and snap peas from our Seedfolk Community Garden this morning!  We've got a full week of great learning activities planned this week.

In Math, we'll be learning some new, exciting ways to complete double digit multiplication problems.  In Reading, the students will be creating online posters, called "Glogs" using Glogster.  The posters will allow the kids to apply what they learned during our unit on Story Elements.  They will all be creating posters on their Jerry Spinelli books!
In Social Studies, we will be starting our Exploration unit and the children which each be assigned an explorer to research and then make a short dramatic presentation on.
In Science, we will be graphing dtat from our pendulum experiments and going outside to perform our own controlled experiment.
In Writing, we will continue to revise our personal narratives.
In Engineering, we will be applying what we learned about properties, design, and materials to help us design design sails for working sailboats.

Lastly, on Friday, we will be taking a field trip to work on 5th Grade Teambuilding skills.

Have a good week,

Mr. Weinstein
