October has been a busy month in 5B! We have been participating in the school wide read aloud reading The Wizard of Oz. The read aloud ended with our harvest fair, which had the same theme. The class participated by creating an engineering game with an Emerald City theme to play with the second grade, and by doing a reader's theater skit of a scene from the book. It was a great day!
In Reading we have started to read a new novel, Where The Mountain Meets The Moon by Grace Lin. The students have read the first twelve chapters and are really enjoying it, while working on many reading skills as well.
In math students are hard at work practicing multiplication strategies for two digit by two digit multiplication.
In social studies we have been learning about European Explorers and how colonies began in the new world. Students have learned about the Vikings, Portuguese Explorers, Christopher Columbus, and the Spanish Conquistadors. We will be getting into the early English colonies in November.
In Science students are working on ecosystems and animal adaptations. Mrs Demers is asking that students bring in clean egg shells next week for an experiment.
