Weekly Newsletter

Here is a recap of our week! It was a busy learning week for us! We had a blast with our November Responsibility Card incentive. The class voted for Electronics Day! :) Friday is RIF Day so we each were able to choose one new book and had a guest reader visit our class. We had a blast listening to Snowmen at Night.

Regions of Wisconsin

The last few days we have been hard at work learning about the five regions of Wisconsin. As a class we learned about the Lake Superior Lowlands region. We researched the landforms, plants, animals, and major cities of this region. After, our class broke into four teams. Each team researched a specific region. We worked as teams to create a Google slideshow and then presented and taught the class about our region. It was a lot of fun!

Google Hangout

We had a blast with our November Google Hangout with the Neville Public Museum. They showed us and talked with us about technology before cell phones! What?!? We saw an a real rotary phone, one of the first laptops, and so much more. It was a lot of fun learning about how technology has changed over time.

New Math Unit - Launching Long Division

We are ready to divide!!! We tapped into our prior knowledge about multiplication and basic division facts to begin our work on division. Division is the process of breaking numbers or objects into equal groups. We reviewed the important vocabulary terms and introduced a new term: remainders. We connected real life examples to help us better understand remainders in our division problems.

Life Science Models

To wrap up our Life Science unit we worked with partners to create a model to show how a Diamondback Rattlesnake and a Beach mouse would use their senses to survive. To wrap up our work, we had a Gallery Walk. Here are some pictures of our work! :)

Here is our newsletter for this week. :)

Destiny Catalog and E-books

We had a visit from Mrs. Austin this week! She reviewed with us about searching for books on the Destiny Catalog. She also showed us how to log in with our Google account so we can create a book list! The last things she showed us was with e-books. We can check out e-books and read them on our Chromebooks or other electronic devices! Woo hoo!! 

Red Ribbon Week & Science with our Stuffed Animals

We wrapped up our Red Ribbon week with pajama day!! It was an extra special day because we brought our stuffed animals in today as well. In Science we've been learning about the external and internal structures of plants and animals. Today we read to our stuffed animals about the muscles and bones in an elephant and then listened to our stuffed animals tell us about how muscles and bones help the elephants survive.

 

Omegaman Assembly

Today we had a special visit from Omegaman! He talked to us about making positive choices and being a dreammaker. He shared tips on how to handle tough situations and encouraged us to be a friend and not a bully. To see more check out his website: http://omegamanschools.com/ 

He shared some pretty neat tricks with us too. We were amazed to see him bend a steel rod - he even held it in his teeth! A few of our classmates helped out when Omegaman shared about bullying. :)

Thanks Lauren, Korrah, & Nathan K. for helping out!! :)
