We planted and researched plants this week! Before we planted we had to research HOW to plant our seeds and how to care for them. After we planted we wrote about our predictions for what we think will happen next in the life cycle of our plants and what we still wonder about our plants. In June we are going on a field trip with our plants so that we can transport them into a farm. More information about this to come!
Once our research was completed, we got to plant:
We have been practicing our song a lot because the 40th Anniversary Assembly is on Tuesday! We need to keep practicing so that we are ready!
We got some new students in our class and had some 5/6's join us this week as well! It was a FULL HOUSE in here with 60 of us!! Wow!
We talked about the elements of Fairytales this week and we are going to start writing our own next week! After we learned what some of the rules are for fairytales we put some elements into a big spinning wheel and picked 5 things we have to include in our stories. These 5 things are:
1. a walking armor stand
2. a king that is a pig
3. a talking portrait
4. a magic jacket
5. a magic spider
We all have to have these elements in our stories and figure out interesting ways to incorporate them. If you want to make your own spinning wheel at home we used this website:

This week the grade 4's filled out the "Tell Them From Me" surveys about how they feel about school. While the grade 4's did that the grade 3's got to do some creative writing about the National Geographic Photo of the Day.
Until next time,
Love,
Room 7&8
