Welcome to this week!

On Monday in math we continued our study of polygons and found definitions. We switched our desk pattern. We put together our element cubes and they turned out well! Once they were all up we had a museum walk to take a closer look at them. If you wanted to read one, we put it in our "books to read" section of our reader's notebook.
In science had a question-what are the states of matter? The states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. There is also another state of matter called plasma. We did a lot of science. We discussed if certain things were matter. For example, dust is matter. It takes up space and it has mass.
In art we sculpted our faces out of clay. It was pretty hard because we had to put water on it to make it soft again.
In math we have been doing Logopaths on the computer. We also played "guess my rule" which we would find a shape and give three clues for someone to figure out what the shape was.
In Reader's Workshop we watched an awesome trailer of the movie Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief! This inspired us to create booktalks and responses that catch people's eye!
In health we reviewed what we had learned k-3 and we learned more about bacteria and viruses.
In Spanish, Senora Rena started a book about Pablo Picasso.
Also this week, Mrs. Randall showed us a picture prompt of her daughter, Sofia, in a crying fit! We could write about her point of view of what we thought happened that night or the last time you cried that hard. I thought that she was crying because she didn't get enough sleep, but Easton took her pen and that REALLY upset her!
We took a cool field trip to Montpelier and had a really good time! We got to see a bill pass, took a tour of the State House, visited the VT Historical Museum, and interviewed our legislators.

See ya!
