English/Writing; We continue on in Unit 5; this week using quotation marks. In writing we continue with our poetry unit and a painting activity to accompany it.
Science: This week we begin our planet webquest. Groups will be formed and assigned a planet. We will be crews on a mission to our assigned destination. The children will create a crew patch and then be off on their exploration. They will use our mobile laptops to research their planet through a webquest. Next week on Monday, March 8 the children will make their three dimensional planets, finish up their research, and paint their planets. After that they will use their information to create a classroom presentation which will be done the final week of the quarter. Great fun! We will remind the children to bring a big old shirt to school the week of March 8 to wear over their uniform. The making and painting of the planets can be a little messy! (but tons of fun)
