This week we continued to work on Spanish language literacy routines. One of our class’ favorite activities is always writing! This week we used Ezra Jack Keats’ wonderful piece Un dia de nieve, as a mentor text. We explored the different literary elements. We were so moved by the beautiful simplicity of this piece. We were impressed by the beautiful illustrations. Students were assigned to write their own Un dia de nieve stories. We cant wait to publish!
Ciencias
This week we concluded our Plant Nutrition investigation. This was such a fun and interesting investigation. Students experienced first hand the action of chlorophyll and its role in the manufacture of sugar- the plant food. We also talked how a food pyramid describes the levels in a feeding relationship involving producers, consumers and decomposers. Lastly we discussed, described and gave examples of heterotrophs and autotrophs organisms. We are hoping to get the human digestive system next week.
Taking advantage of the snow, we did a fun little experiment. Students were ask to predict the amount of water that will be in the glass jar, after the snow melts. Predictions are shared! We are excited to find out the results week.
