Green Mountain Compost came this morning to dump the dirt (which is actually compost) for our raised beds. It was a very exciting morning. Below is a video of the dirt being dumped!

Our Week in Review 5.2 - 5.6

Math This Week

This week in math students will be learning how to measure line segments to the nearest inch.  In addition, students will be learning how to measure lengths to the nearest half-inch. Our adding of four two-digit numbers is coming along nicely.  Be sure to ask your student what strategy they prefer to use to solve these types of problems. 

Writing Like Third Graders

Last week we began writing like 3rd graders!  We focused on the topic, "How Can You Make Earth a Better Place".  We did lots of research using Wonderopolis to support our thinking. We came up with three main ways we can make the world a better place: conserve energy, plant a tree and Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.  For each of the ideas students wrote a five finger paragraph.  We discussed how our writing is starting to look like 3rd grader writing because we have multiple ideas in our writing which means we are really writing essays! Check out your child's blog to see their excellent writing! How exciting!
