We continued to work on these things this week:

• We continued our unit about pets this week. We talked about how to wash a dog step-by-step, then we created our own dog shampoo.
• In conjunction with language arts, we read a number of Henry and Mudge books. We made a list of story connectors and compared them with transition words.
  
• Fiction vs. Non-fiction: We learned the difference between fiction books and non-fiction books. Each student created his/her own stories about pets.
• We learned how to build a "super sentence" by adding more describing words and details.
  

• In Math Investigations Centers this week, each student had a chance to participate the following activities:
  

1. Use Kidspiration to classify plane shapes and solid shapes.
2. Use tiles to build rectangles and label with fractions.
3. Make a Eating fractions book.
   
4. Create plane shapes on geoboards.
   
5. Use pattern blocks to create a symmetrical design.
   

• In Science we had snail races and a lot of fun observing water snails and worms
