Religion - We have been practicing, and practicing, and practicing for our mass on Friday, February 14th!  Our latest Bible story was The Good Samaritan.

Writing - We are getting close to being finished with our non-realistic fiction stories.  On Friday we worked on peer editing - reading our stories to our classmates and having our classmates help us with editing and suggestions of things to add.

Science - In our PLTW unit Sun, Moon, and Stars we completed two fun lessons.  Our project lesson was called Mystery Beads.  We learned about UV rays.  We then were given five UV detecting beads.  When exposed to the sun, the clear beads turned color.  On Friday we worked on the problem lesson.  In this lesson the task was to build a structure. The job was to create a playground structure where there would be protection from the sun.  The students used the design process to create their structures. (ask, explore, model, evaluate explain)  Our next job is to test our structures.  We will place our UV detecting beads in the structure and use a black light  flashlight as the sun.  We will see if the structure protects from the UV rays.

Reading - The students have been working very hard in reading groups and centers!
