Hi Families!  We are learning our first unit in science, WEATHER!  The class just finished learning about weather tools, air pressure, masses, and fronts!  Take a look at these slides.  You might learn a thing or two!



*Note from Mrs. Adams: We will be creating a Room 20 slideshow of our independent research on different weather topics!  Stay tuned!*

Student Blogger, Sammy - The Sisters Grimm Puck Debate

Puck Debate

On Wednesday Mrs. Adams' class And Miss Farrell's class had a debate. It was about the character Puck from the book The Sisters Grimm. Puck is both bad and good. He had chances to kill to characters Sabrina and Daphne but he doesn’t. He knows Mrs. Grimm because in a s.o.s. letter Puck’s name was in it. Mrs. Farrell’s class and Mrs. Adams' class fought over if Puck was bad or good, though he did bad things he is just a kid.

Student Blogger, Sydney - Wordly Wise Theater

Wordly  Wise theater is a really good way to practice worldly  wise words and it's also fun to act stuff out and think of what you're going to do to act it out and most of them are funny to act out.We get to do it in front of Ms. Farrell's class with the big morning meeting it’s awesome. I love Wordly Wise theater .  

Student Blogger, Ashley - Google Doc Letters

Every week, we work on Google Doc letters for reading. We write to Mrs. Adams about our book.  We tell her on the Chromebooks what our progress is and what book we are reading next and also one of the topics Mrs. Adams puts on the board.

An awesome puff mobile race in action!

October continues to be an awesome month for us in Room 20!  Check out some of our most recent experiences below.  Be sure to subscribe to our blog so you get updates each time we post!

Puff Mobile Race!

Our puff mobile race was a HUGE success!  Our class was the overall winners - Go GREEN Team!  Nate puffed their puff mobile to victory and made us proud!  All of our puff mobiles raced very well and the puffers and cheerers showed excellent engineering design work, cooperation, and sportsmanship!

Haffenreffer Museum - Dig It! Archaeology Program

Our first of four archaeology visits from the Haffenreffer Museum happened last week.  Thanks to the PCC for such an enriching experience!  We learned about how archaeologists find clues about how people lived.  We learned about pottery seriation, tree rings, dig sites, and much more!  We'll use what we learned in our subsequent visits from the museum in which we'll learn about Native American cultures from around the US!

Readers Theater

As part of our Sisters Grimm / fairy tale unit, we practiced (and practiced and practiced...) and performed fairy tale scripts and poems in our very first Readers Theater!  We worked to create a checklist of what a spectacular performance looks and sounds like.  We enjoyed poems from You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Fairy Tales to Read Together by Mary Ann Hobermann.  We enjoyed "Sleepless Beauty" and "Jack and the Beanstalk Trial" readers theater scripts, too!  Miss Farrell and Mrs. Adams think we'll have to do more activities like this because we are amazing actors and readers!

We are learning, laughing, reading, talking, writing, solving, performing, and becoming smarter and stronger learners everyday!
