Busy Minion News - Week of March 28



This Week  We started our week with a really great trip to the NH State House and NH History Museum.  We all enjoyed the tours and learned a lot about NH government and history.  It was neat to check out the actual rooms where our state officials work and we also loved looking at some wonderful artifacts from our state’s history.  This week, we also worked on poetry about the aurora borealis, aka the Northern Lights.  We will be publishing little books of our poetry.  We also started multiplying fractions and working with line plots in Math, and we did a science investigation about bird beaks.  We continued to make progress on our super hero publishing.

Next Week  We will read the story, “Roadrunner’s Dance,” in Literacy.  Since Unit 5 in Math is a really quick one, we will spend a couple of days reviewing the skills and then take the assessment.  We will continue working on super hero publishing and hopefully begin to think about ideas for our NH Cups video.  We will finish anything left to be done on our Northern Lights poetry books, and do a quick Picturing Writing project on birds, to extend our science investigation on bird beaks.
