Morning Message

Our Morning Message is a helpful tool that builds fluency and reading skills for all students!

Every morning during our morning meeting, we read the Morning Message.  We read the same message every day for an entire week.  The students build their fluency skills by rereading the message every day. 
   

After we choral read the message, the students look for words in the message!  This week we looked for punctuation marks, capital letters, 3 or more syllable words, and no-excuse words. 

On Friday, after we complete our Morning Message activity, we raffle off the chart paper to a lucky winner!   This week it went home with Mariska!

We are Scientists!

This week in science, we learned about Force and Motion.  The four types of motion we learned are:  circular, back and forth, side to side, and up and down. 

We also learned how to be a scientist!  The students learned the steps to the Scientific Method!  We completed our first experiment this week while also recording our information in a science journal.

To demonstate up and down motion, we did the Diet Coke/Mentos experiment.  This is a super fun and easy experiment that you can do at home!
