February has been full of fun!

In February, we had a wonderful Valentine's Day party but also had a lot of fun learning new things!








To show our learning on expository text, we created dioramas.  The students then went on a gallery walk to see all the different types of expository text.



 In Social Studies, we studied different landmarks around the United States.  We had fun writing about the landmarks and creating them out of play-dough!
The Alamo


The Statue of Liberty


Mount Rushmore

 Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) was a big hit!
Students reading books off of Kindles and Laptops.

To become better readers, we learned how to make inferences while reading.  We really enjoyed making inferencing bags.  Students put secret items in bags and then wrote four clues about their object.  Other students had to infer what was in the bag.  We had a blast!
