What an extra fun week we have had bringing in Fall.  We read both fiction and informational text books about apples and Johnny Appleseed. The students did some great writing about what they learned about John Chapman.       

                                                                                                                      In science, we experimented with apples in the open air versus apples in lemon juice and water. We talked about how chemicals ( oxygen in the air)  reacts with the apple  and causes browning.  We talked about the difference betweeen mixtures and chemical reactions and made Apple Volcanoes!  They loved it!

 

Eating all the delicious foods was a favorite and I appreciate your help in making our learning fun! 

 

Next week we move on to questioning and how good readers ask questions throughout their reading and we will write some questions in our new "Teacher Talk" notebooks.  We will also begin a Unit on Community Helpers and the students will take their first steps in becoming structural engineers!

 

Thanks you again for all of the support!  Look over test folders and return those on Monday! 

 

Happy Fall Ya'll!
