One of the other things we did with the story of Helen Keller was watch this short video clip from "The Miracle Worker." The class was very impressed to see how Helen was able to eventually identify things and objects by their names.
Our new unit in math has been on graphing. We have been learning about all sorts of graphs, including tally charts, line graphs, bar graphs, plot line graphs, and pictographs.
Each day this week we have taken a new class survey to graph. We have graphed, "What is your Favorite Subject in School?", "Our Favorite Vegetables," and "How many Letters in our First Names."
Vegetable Tasting for our Survey
Our Data -- Carrots won by a long shot as the favorite, where the least favorite was most certainly broccoli!
In science we have been continuing our study of Earth and Space Science, with a focus on the idea that some events one earth occur quickly while others occur slowly. This week we discussed wind and how it works. In partners, the students built a wind gauge. We took them onto the playground on Thursday afternoon to test them out. Some of the students thought that our wind gauges were broken because they didn't turn like we had anticipated. However, Thursday happened to be the one day this week there was almost no wind at all. So, the wind gauges were not broken and it was determined that they were working exactly as they should since there wasn't any wind that afternoon.
Watching and hoping for even a little bit of wind!
We also had a character trait assembly this afternoon. Congratulations to Lexxi and Jacob for earning our Responsibility Awards for the month of January.
Congratulations to our Class Dojo Star for this last week!
Have a great weekend!
