MACKIN VIA

Today, students used guided reading time to explore Mackin Via website, that can be found on my moodle page.  This is a library of eReader books that students can use to read at school and at home.  This way, students can choose good fit books, with the help of the Guided Reading identifier on the webpage.  You'll need to check your e-mail for the username and password.  If you have any questions, let me know.  Please, use this resource for reading minutes at home! It's such an awesome resource! http://www.mackin.com/viaenter.aspx

Layers of the Earth!

Today in class, students took half and apple and drew a picture of it.  We measured the peel, the middle, and the core.  Then, we discussed how the Earth has three layers (crust, mantle, and core).  Students had to write three sentences to share with the class about how the apple is like the Earth.  Students really enjoyed this activity, especially eating the apple.  Thank you for sending those in!   Colin enjoying his apple while writing sentences.

Alexia's awesome learning in her science notebook!
