English

This week we had a spelling test. Students also wrote a journal about being problem solvers and what this term means. We are just about finished with our persuasive essays that we have been working on for several weeks. This week students did peer editing with their essays. They each read and edited (corrected spelling, grammar, sentence structure) the essay of one of their classmates. When we finished peer editing, students started writing the final draft of their essay.

Science
This week we spent the majority of our science lessons having presentations of projects. Each student prepared a science experiment and then showed it to the class. We saw eggs get sucked into a bottle, a dry ice bubble, a volcano, and much more!

Math: In math we learned about time: how to tell what time is it on an analogue and digital clock. The students made their own clocks and showed time on them. They also learned the difference between AM and PM. Then they learned to read picture graphs and bar graphs.

Language Arts: In Language Arts we continued to go over synonyms and antonyms. We learned new irregular past tense verbs and played a game to practice them. We also began to discuss homophones.

Science: In science we reviewed our lessons on magnets and energy. We talked about Earth Day and reducing, reusing, and recycling. In honor of Earth Day, we went for a walk today and picked up trash close to the forest to help the environment.
