Dear families,
We've had a busy week! Students wrote furiously to finish their small moment and fiction narratives. They worked on self-assessing their writing to make sure it had all the parts of a narrative. They also went through the whole editing process. Most students were able to publish a new book this week and illustrate it!
We continued to read Native American constellation and sky myths. Some of the ones we read were: "The Seven Wise Men" story of Pleiades, "How Grandmother Spider Stole the Sun," "How Coyote Was the Moon," "How Fisher Went to the Skyland: The Origin of the Big Dipper," and "The Morning Star and the Northern Lights."
In science we used flashlights to discover more about shadows using block towers. We experimented on how to shine the light on the towers to create the longest and shortest shadows. We also practiced measuring the shadows using rulers.
We read a great Scholastic News article about Martin Luther King Jr. and talked about this upcoming holiday. I hope that you all have a great holiday and enjoy this short break. Remember, students have no school on Monday and Tuesday while there is teacher inservice.
Enjoy your weekend!
