BLOWERS Writing: 
 This week we spent writing time giving Book Project Presentations. We also went to the library to check out books for the book project. Next week we will write an opinion piece about an article we'll be reading.

READING: with Mrs. Blowers
We completed Chapters 3 and 4 in Guests. We worked on vocabulary, simile, personification and compare/contrast. Corn is a major food staple in the Native American and early settlers diets. I brought in cornbread and molasses for the kids to try on Monday. Most liked the cornbread- not the molasses so much!
 
Social Studies with Mrs. Custer

We used the verbs identify, organize and analyze as we learned about early European explorers.

Science with Mrs. Blowers
We continue to talk balanced and unbalanced forces by moving into investigations about simple machines. We watched an OK GO video called "This Too Shall Pass" that is a huge Rube Goldberg video containing simple machines that the kids thoroughly enjoyed.      

 Spelling:  
  Spelling Lesson 7 Test was Friday. Lesson 8 skill is various ways to spell the sound /s/ as in skill.
