Week of February 24th!

In Class Today:  

In AA science today, we read and  learned about plants that grow in the polar regions. We began an experiment with celery and colored water to demonstrate how the Xylem in plants draw up water from the soil.  We illustrated and wrote science terms in our journals to show how osmosis and transpiration work in plants to provide them with water.  

Homework: No homework!

 In language arts, we continued our story writing emphasizing how the plot in “How mosquitos buzz in peoples ears” built up to a climax that needed resolving. We thought of our own characters and plot and drew illustrations and will write accompanying text next week to finish.

We learned about California and Oregon today. We talked about why California is called the Golden State and why Oregon is called the Beaver State. We also looked at the flag, capital, bird, flower, and tree for each state. These our the last two new states we will learn before Spring Break. Next week we will be playing a review Jeopardy Game. 

Homework: None

In Class Today:  We continued our work on 3D shapes. We finished our shape books and then put together a puzzle that tested if we knew the faces, vertices, and edges as well as the name and picture of each of our 3D Shapes. Next week will be our last on 3D shapes. We will be focusing on 3D shapes in the real world.
