Walk-a-thon!

What a gorgeous day for the Walk-a-thon! We had raised money for our school, got in some good exercise and fresh air AND had a ton of fun! Thank you for all of your donations and support. You can donate still, in your child's name, at localevelevents.com/events/details/969, until May 6.
I also have lost my voice so that's been fun today...

In Writer's Workshop, we used iPads to take pictures of our LEGO creations and then began our "stories" using the StoryVisualizer software. In Reader's Workshop, we took a closer look at medieval times with a video by StoryWorks as well as learned some new vocabulary and read over the drama, The Sword in the Stone which we will read as a play tomorrow. We also read in our Time For Kids about taking care of our eyes as well as the rest of our body and learned about foods that give the appropriate nutrients to keep our eyes healthy. Do you know what carrots are good for your eyes? In Math Workshop, we continued our work with the metric system by playing a game where we did mental math, estimation, measuring and conversion. We also took a "quiz" as an exit/entrance slip to move on to our mini-measurement problem where we get to design SHOES!! Our day concluded with Guidance with Mrs. Vidic and talking about kindness.
