We had a bench dedication for Ms. Kestner. She used to teach the grade 2/3 class. Some of the grade 5/6 students shared memories about her since they were in her class.
In science, we learned about the different parts of a flower. They are called the sepal, the pistil and the stamen. We went into the Whispering Woods and found a flower to draw and dissect, looking for each part of the flower.

What We Did and Learned Today:

We played the game predator and prey today. We learned that it is hard to survive as a herbivore, they do a lot of running. We learned that carnivores eat herbivores and the humans effect both. When you are a carnivore, you have to use all your senses to find your prey. Herbivores had a hard time finding different food sources, and they were competing with other herbivores.

In music, we made a idea generator fortune teller. Mr. O'Reilly had a chart on the whiteboard with ideas to choose from. Our idea generators needed to have a setting, character and event.
In social studies, we learned about pysanky eggs, otherwise known as Ukrainian Easter Eggs. Using symbols, we had to design a pysanky egg with three or more symbols that represented something about our families. Ms. Jones was very impressed with our egg designs!
