Week 23 Wrap-Up


"Station," by Thomas


"Bruise," by Japheth

Japheth and Thomas showcase their creativity with bright colors and textures.  

In math, we're trudging through long division, improving more and more with daily practice.  Practicing facts at home each day makes the process a lot faster.  

This week's science experiments included measuring the temperature of hot water every two minutes until it reached room temperature, and attempting to melt an ice cube as fast as possible.  Dynasty had a unique strategy, and Owen and Andrew found that crushing the cube speeds up the process. 

Prewriting for persuasive letters is behind us, so rough drafts are next.  This class is extremely persuasive.

During reader's workshop, we're exploring how prefixes and suffixes change the meaning of words.  Summaries of current events from the CBBC's Newsround sparked thoughtful conversations.

Next week's morning messages will feature German street art by DAIM…
