Flash Lights, Colored Lights, and Rocks!


Students learned today how to make rainbows. From this experiment, they now know why rainbows appear at certain times and not others!

White poster board.



Our best yet!




Seven and Nahjani finishing up their "Rock Stories". Seven has jumped right into the narrative process.













Today in Writer's Workshop we were working hard to finish up our "Magic Rock" stories.




Alexandria is working hard, and Misty is waiting for a peer edit.













Klaudia, Angel, and Allison work to get their stories published.


Our next big narrative project will be the Holiday Story for the Florida Times Union. The guidelines this year are quite interesting, and students should have lots to think about!

Math Wizards are at work in Room 138. For the last two days we have played the In-Between game and it has been great to see students' confidence levels when working with fractions!

We have also finished Chapter 4 in our Social Studies book and will now be moving into New Colony Settlement! Students will also start their report writing for the "Live Wax Museum".
Remember, NO SCHOOL FRIDAY, and Thursday we will make class shirts and have our 100% Pizza Membership Party!
