Have You Passed In Your Permission Slip Yet?
Our class will be going to the Action Science Discovery Museum on November 18th. We will return to school in time for lunch, so students can pack their lunch as usual. There are a large number of students who have not turned in their permission slips yet, please let me know if you need another copy. We are excited and can't wait for an exciting day!
Social Studies
We just wrapped up our first round of Social Studies: learning about the Northeast. We will learn about all the regions this year and really think about how diverse our country is. We will also attempt to answer the question: How does where you live, affect how you live?
In addition to learning about the Northeast, we began to learn about how to research and determine importance. Students were asked to become an expert on one topic of the region and decide what the rest of the class should learn about that topic. They created teaching posters and presented these to their classmates. Below are some photos of our work.

Science
We recently launched our first unit in science. We will be learning about erosion and weathering and attempting to answer the question: What causes changes in our landscape? We are also learning to be good scientists by observing, taking good notes and asking questions. We started science journals and will explore different ways to record our thinking in them this year.
Below is a picture from one of our first experiments. Students created sculptures out of play dough and then placed them outside. We have been observing the effects of the weather on these sculptures and discussing how we can accurately capture our observations in our science journals.
