In science we discussed some in depth vocabulary and how it applies to the experiments we will begin tomorrow. Some key words included: controlled experiment, independent variable, dependent variable, and controlled variable. Tomorrow we set up our own control group and begin testing out various experimental groups using pendulums.
Today's math lesson focused on prime and composite numbers. By applying knowledge of factors and divisibility rules, students were able to create factor rainbows and prove whether or not a number was prime or composite.

Writing was all about drafting today! After brainstorming some solid people and important moment personal narrative ideas, students picked one and began writing furiously about that topic. This year I will be pushing heavily for students to draft with passion and not worry about perfection. Brain to paper is my biggest push, we will revise and organize later! Here are some images of our vigorous writers:
Finally, in today's reading lesson, we jumped into our first shared reading in Journeys called A Package for Mrs. Jewels. Together we answered questions using text evidence and then put together a story structure organizer so we could write a quality top notch summary.
PICTURE DAY TOMORROW!
