What a busy week we've had! We continue reading non-fiction books and write our own. Many students worked on wrapping up their first non-fiction books by writing conclusions and glossaries before doing their final editing.
This week our read alouds focused on our PBL theme of sound, music, and experimentation. We read: I Got the Rhythm, Max Found Two Sticks, Magic School Bus and the Haunted Sound Museum and The Most Magnificent Thing. In PBL we made our initial plan for building our instruments on Tuesday. On Thursday and Friday we built, tested, changed, retested, tweaked, altered, and finally finished our instruments! Next week the students will work in teams (or bands) to create a song together to perform on February 3rd. Please join us on Monday Feb. 3rd from 2:15-3:00 for the performances! All our PBL learning comes together in this final presentation.
With all the extra PBL times we have had math sporadically. We worked on reviewing the topics in our unit that students self-assessed they needed more work with. We will show what we've learned on the end of unit assessment on Tuesday.
