Explorer Projects

Lately, we've been writing explorer projects. Groups were assigned an explorer. The whole class raced to see who would get to the new world first. 

 

Writing

In writing we've been doing non-fiction articles. We have learned how to take notes, section off our writing, and cut and paste our articles. The topic is Westward Expansion. People are writing about the Gold Rush, the Louisiana Purchase, the Oregon Trail, Lewis and Clark, Sacajawea, and the Corps of Discovery.

Goal Chain Party

This is our class goal chart. We use this to track data on how good we are each day. We've had good and bad days our new goal is to get 80% or more good strips than bad. That's basically it we just wanted to show what's going on thanks,

Our goal chain.

 

We just got a chain that hangs on the ceiling every time we do something good we get a piece of the chain. The black strips me we didn't do what we were suppose to, the colored strips means we did do what we were suppose to. So at the end of the day we count all the colored strips that earned for walking in line quietly, our line is straight, and are room is clean and chairs are pushed in. Then we count how many black strips we have for not doing those things, after that we subtract the black strips from the colored strips, and those remaining colored strips get put on the chain. We can earn bonus colored strips by: Our whole class turned in homework on time, nobody has to "sign the book', and when the room is clean and everyone is at the floor at the end of the day. We get two colored strips for the bonus. When the chain reaches the floor, we get a party.

So exited for this new quarter. We're ready for our gradecards to come. It's all okay we'll get through this year. Of course we can't forget about the weekend. Forget all the school stress and give us some relaxation. We're ready for fun. 

Thanks,

Brooke;););)
