La lectura

This week we did a lot of Dr. Seuss reading! (Monday PM was our celebration day.)

The students also received their Cereal Box book report information sheet.  This is due on Friday, March 29th.  BEFORE spring break!

Students were given last chances this week to change their book.  They all held firm and said they were happy with their picks.  Happy reading!  I can’t wait to see their boxes!

 

Ciencias

 

We began our new Science unit: Environments!  Students planned and planted 5 seeds in terrariums.  They will decide, in their science groups, how to care for these.  They are checking them every couple days, recording any changes observed as well as any changes they make (water).

On Friday we also started  learning about the insects: isopods and beetles.  We are doing an experiment to see which of these would be suited to add to our terrariums.
