Week in Review

This week was full of researching and presenting our animals! We spent all week applying our research to design the perfect zoos for our animals. To top off the week, we even presented our research to FOURTH GRADERS! Can you believe that? We TAUGHT fourth graders information they needed to complete their own zoo designs.
At the beginning of the week, we did a nature walk to collect materials for our zoos.





The way they used these materials was so creative!
















We are working on creating "expert videos" that I will be able to share with you. These videos allow you to hear the thoughts behind the zoo managers (our first graders) designs.
Here we are teaching the fourth graders!











In math, we began working with 3D shapes! We have been exploring the shape faces and how we can compose new shapes by putting them together.








Have a fantastic week!
