Invertebrates and Gardens

   Snails, flatworms, and jellyfish....OH MY!!  We have been studying about invertebrates this week in Science!  The students each chose an invertebrate they wanted to know more about.  They then created a Google Slideshow to present to the class.  IT WAS AWESOME!!!  We learned SO MUCH about invertebrates!  The last slide they were assigned to do was "I still wonder...".  It was great to watch the students dive deeper into their research to find the answers to their "I still wonder.." questions.  They were coming up to me saying" I found the answer to _____________" or " Hey! Listen to this....."  I love those "light bulb" moments in learning!
    We are almost finished with our Novel Study of "Sarah, Plain and Tall".  Every time we finish reading the chapters assigned for the day, the students always say" Awwww.... Just one more chapter!  Please!!"  I love watching the mystery in their eyes as they try to predict what happens next!  There will be a test on Friday! 
    We had an ice cream party with our Book Buddies this morning since we may not be able to meet next week because of upcoming Fall Break plans!  Below are pictures!  There are also pictures from our School Garden that we continue to work on!
   There are LOTS of tests next week!  Please make sure you look at the assignments and upcoming tests on the side of this blog.
   Have a FANTASTIC weekend!!
