We had a wonderful time at the assembly today! We learned all about simple machines. We learned all about how simple machines could help us create a mouse trap. A special thank you to the PTA who provided this experience for our students.

Nonfiction Writing Unit
We started our nonfiction writing unit! We read Are You a Dragonfly? to see how authors can incorporate facts into a book. After discussing the book, students brainstormed a list of animals they could use for future pieces. We also discussed how curiosity helps writers stay interested in a piece. After reading a book about wolves that was written in a question/answer format, students created a list of questions about an animal of interest.
Social Studies
This week we learned about the voting process. We learned about the steps it takes to become a voter. We also learned about why it is important to vote.
