This week our theme was BATS! 

Take a peek at our week to see some of the things that we did! 





Monday:  During our morning meeting, we talked about what an election is and the voting process. Our school implemented a school-wide LDC (the first in the country!!!) called "Count on Me". 

Today we started by creating a KWL chart on bats! The kids had a lot of background knowledge on bats already! We read a fiction story named: Stellaluna, and sequenced the story as a class. In Math we reviewed for our benchmark.

Tuesday: We talked about authority figures and their roles today. We also made our voter id cards and had a chance to see the 5th grade students that were running for school president. 

Today we also read the story: Nightsong. We compared and contrasted it with Stellaluna using a Venn diagram. We also made a text to self connection and wrote about a food that we liked and a food that was disgusting.

Wednesday: We watched each 5th grade candidates speech today and listed the things each one said they would do for our school. We live streamed an assembly where the 5th graders held a debate. Here are some picture of the kids voting for school president! They were SO excited!!! 






Thursday:  Today we took our first FIELD TRIP!!! Here are some pictures!!!
