Updates from room 108

Here's what we've been up to lately!

In math we have been using all sorts of measurement tools!  This week we practiced measuring to the nearest inch with rulers and tape measures.  We measured objects in our classroom with rulers,  parts of our bodies with tape measures, and even made a graph of the different heights in our classroom!

In writing we are taking our realistic fiction writing to the next level!  Students have become punctuation police officers, patrolling the pages of their stories for proper punctuation!

We've also been working on word choice to take our stories from good to great to FANTASTIC!  Here are some of the sparkle words spotted in student writing this week:

Our science experiment this week involved exploring the use of different sized screens to sort a river rock mixture.  Students sorted their mixtures into  these 5 groups with the help of 3 screens:
Large Pebbles
Small Pebbles
Large Gravel
Small Gravel
Sand

Take a look!:

On Friday, we started decorating our classroom for the winter holidays!

Happy weekend to everyone!
