We wrapped up our mapping unit this week by going on a treasure hunt!  Students used a map of the school and surrounding area to help them find clues that led to the hidden treasure: a box full of compasses!

Our final science unit began this week.  Students will be studying the ocean for the remainder of the school year, with the culminating activity being our trip to Crescent Beach in June!

In readers' workshop this week we practiced reading the 4 plays that will be featured in our theater presentation on June 15.  On Friday, students chose their roles.  Next week, we start making our masks!

In math, we continue to review some of the concepts introduced in Everyday Math this year.  Students used straws and twist ties and followed directions to make a series of different polygons.  They also used a weather map to review temperature and range.

Happy Memorial Day weekend!
