We worked hard today to add up all our numbers from our September reading minutes. After sharing several strategies we got the answer of 5886 minutes. We decided to make it our goal as a class to read 6000 minutes as a whole class for October. Each student is encouraged to increase their reading minutes for the month of October.
This week we spent some time learning about the story of Anne Frank. We are reading a variety of biographies to learn the stories of people around the world. We are also connecting to the RIGHTS of the CHILD through some of the picture books we have been reading as well as the biographies.
In Science we have started watching a video about the Burj Kkalifa and the different leaps in technology that were required to make this the tallest building. So far we have learned about the importance of MOBILITY and the discovery of safe elevators. Leap 2 is about MATERIALS and the need to find something light but strong to build tall buildings.
