The Big Bad Blow Dryer Challenge

We've been working on properties of matter in science.  The kids were challenged to design a house that would withstand the BIG, BAD BLOWDRYER.  Ask them what properties of matter were important when building their houses.  Check out how their houses held up!

What's New In Room 22?

We've been busy at work since our December break.     Folktales has been our focus during reading.  Ask your child to tell you some of the "ingredients" to a folktale!  I am really excited to see how our cereal box book folktale reports come out.  Just a reminder, this project is due January 25th.

We are also becoming more accurate and fluent readers.  During reading, we've been working on strategies that help us to figure out meanings of unknown words. Encourage your child to try these strategies when reading at home.

In writing, we've been working on a variety of strategies to make our narratives more exciting. One way is to "show don't tell" how we are feeling.  Look at our show don't tell posters!  

Be on the look out for our mitten suspense writing!  We will be posting these soon!

Country Projects

The kids did an amazing job on their country projects!  I learned so many facts from each of the countries.  Ask your child what he/she learned!
