We made Cells!


We made cells in Ziplock Bags using beans and hair gel!  Some of us chose to do an animal cell and some of us chose to do a plant cell.  The difference?  Plan cells have a cell wall and a chloroplast and animal cells don't.






Dough Island pictures


From painting their boxes, to combining the dough, the children had to work together to start their big project!  Up next:  painting elevation levels, adding a key, a compass rose and laditude and longitude lines.  Great job so far!  Some of the best yet!

GRACE AND ANNIE’S BLOGPOST! 

Hello 4s! Grace and Annie here. We hope your pictures turned out good because Monday was picture day. The weather this week has been nice and a little windy. The leaves are changing colors because it is fall out. The weather is getting colder.  We like having recess outside, how about you? We just finished Captain Nobody on Tuesday. We thought it was an awesome and funny book.  We might read the book Shadows next. It’s a Bluestem.  This week we also finished up the Jr. Atlas in Social Studies. We also finished up soccer this week in gym and now we are doing football. We also had a microscope quiz and we even got to look through them.  We are also learning about cells in Science. We made cells in science too. In social studies we made landforms with dough.  The landforms look great. I hope everyone liked their landforms. We are also switching classes for reading and it is fun. Each class is reading a different novel book. In math we are switching too. Right now we are in Chapter 3.  But Mr. Jewell is not doing it because he does his own math with his class. That’s Grace and Annie’s blog post, hope you enjoyed it! J
