Science
This week in Science we played on the iPad. There is a game called "Simple Physics." In the game, there are tons of cool levels! There are levels that involve water, amusement park rides, and tree houses. You always have to build to make, stop, or prevent something.
Math
This week in math we did probability. Sometimes we pick out of a hat and before we pick, we guess the probability of picking a color. We also played some cool math games on the iPad. We played this one game called Alien Equation. You try to line up math facts. The longer the equation is the more points you get. That is all of the things we did in math this week.
Reading
This week in reading we did centers, each person gets a group A,B,C,D,or E. Every other day we have centers.The centers that we have are spelling,vocabulary,comprehension packet,Time for Kids,guided reading,and independent reading.We also have literature circles. We are all reading different books. The books are Fever 1793, Fifth of March, Out of the Dust,and Secret School.Every week we meet and discuss are book. That's what we did in reading this week.

Hi everyone,
I apologize for the lengthy delay between postings, but we had some technical difficulties that prevented me from getting onto the website.
In Reading, we are involved in Historical Fiction Literature Circles. The students are reading books with a small group and twice each week, they respond to the text in different ways. They'll be using art, connections, vocabulary words, and discussions to share their feelings as they read.
We have just finished learning about the Revolutionary War and will next be moving into the founding of our government. We'll be learning about the Articles of Confederation, Constitution, Bill of Rights, and three branches of Government.
In Writing, we're going to be writing about the themes in either Lois Lowry's "The Giver" or Gary Paulsen's "Hatchet" and how those themese can provide lessons for us in our own lives.
The students will be taking over the blogging again this Friday!
Have a great week!
Jeff
