We had a really fun week in school! On Wednesday we got to go to a special science presentation that was presented by people who work at Ecovative. They taught us all about mushrooms and how they can be used to make packaging materials instead of using foam. Using mushrooms is much better for the environment! We got to help make our own bowls using the mushroom material. We will keep them in our classroom to hold supplies. It was awesome! In Math this week we learned how to multiply 3 factors using the Associative Property of Multiplication. We also learned how to multiply with multiples of 10. We had our first Mad Minute today and did great! In Reading we finished Gooseberry Park. It was a really cool book! We learned how to compare and contrast two things. We compared and contrasted two characters from the story and we also compared ourselves to one of our classmates using a Venn Diagram. We finished our Narrative final copies in Writing. We compared our Narratives to the story we wrote before we learned about Narrative writing and couldn't believe how much our stories improved! We can't wait to share our stories with you at the Holiday Party! In Social Studies we continued learning about Australia. We learned all about the animals that live there and made a book out of them. We are excited to pick an animal to research!
