3-D Shapes!

Today we had a blast making 3-D shapes! I gave the students clues (the attributes of a shape) and they had to create it using toothpicks and play-doh. It was hard but the kids did a great job and persevered! Round of applause to these smartie pants! 

Research!

Wow! Yesterday we began working on how to do research, and today these kids are showing off their skills in the computer lab! We are using Google Jr which is very kid friendly. The kids are enjoying learning all about Germany! In Social Studies we are learning about different kinds of cultures and tying it into our research lessons in Reading, which then allows us to use Computer Lab time to conduct our research. It's awesome! 

Summarizing!

Working on summarizing this week! Real world example- a summary on the back of a book can help you decide if it is a book you'd want to read!
