If April showers bring May flowers, what does April snow bring??

 Alright, seriously Mother Nature? You're HILARIOUS! I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend! 

This week we continued our discussion on environmental issues. What are they and what can we do? The next few weeks will be spent researching a specific environmental issue we chose together; ENDANGERED SPECIES! 

Here we are working as team members to find the answers to our ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS.







 I observed some AMAZING team work as my little researchers worked hard to focus on their topic. We learned the importance of thinking ahead before researching; so we know what to look for!

We also talked about why it is important to hear all sides of a story. When researching a topic, why is it important to collect evidence from fiction pieces as well as non-fiction? To gain perspective! We discuss perspective with our friend, The Lorax (with permission from Mr. Podeweltz of course).


Our door has been invaded by Truffula Trees!



We thought about how the choices we make can influence others and we wrote one choice we would make to improve our community.







 Even George got in the spirit!


 And in math, our good friend zero left us. =( We are learning how to read numbers AFTER a decimal point! Check out our MATH FUN page for our name project.

Some of our comments from this week:

Reagan exclaimed, “We did golf for gym”
Amelia exclaimed, “In music Miss Jensen and Miss Panzer played us a song!”
Bethany whispered, “We had game day and I had lots of fun!”
Courtney exclaimed, “We did golf in gym."
Phing sang, “We brought electronics for game day.”
