KINDERS
Wearing our wonderful mustaches, we read the book The Lorax while making comparisons as the scenes in the book changed. The students also were looking for character traits of the Lorax and recorded the information as it were described in the book. They continued working in their SHAPES books, concentrating on angles and sides.

First Graders
We started out the day by "eyebombing" areas in our classroom. The students made their own eyes, and placed them around the room. Adding the
"tech" piece to the lesson, they took a picture of their work, used
Shadowpuppet edu, and recorded themselves as though their piece was talking.
MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES- Another scavenger hunt !

SECOND GRADERS
Students continued with their Marble Maze Challenge. Each maze must have 20 cardboard tubes and 4 turns. Using their iPads they would record how quickly their marble went down the tube all the while learning interesting facts about their construction and comparing them to their classmates.

THIRD GRADERS
"When we got into the classroom on Tuesday Mrs.Horan told us about our
homework. We had a Science Project; Mrs.Horan explained the standards and then we went into the hallway so that a few more people could show us their
Brain Projects.
When we got back into the classroom we read Tuck Everlasting
until Mrs. Horan said to put them away so we could learn about the Fibonacci
Numbers and how they appear in nature. The Fibonacci Numbers are a sequence of
numbers made by adding the two previous numbers to make the next number, that
means it would be 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21... Then Mrs. Horan got some flowers and pinecones from
her garden, a pineapple from HEB and some shells from the science table. Using magnifying glasses we looked at them all. Almost all of the flowers
had a Fibonacci number of leaves or petals, the pinecones have a Fibonacci
number of seeds in a row but when we got to the sea shells is when the things
got interesting. The shells don’t have anything Fibonacci but they have the
same spiral that you would get if you put the Fibonacci numbers on grid paper.
We saw a video called “The Present” and another one about Magnets.
Then we got our things and left for the day." Mariana
