In Unit 2 children will make sense of one- and two-step number stories involving all four arithmetic operations. We will solve number stories using diagrams, arrays, pictures, words, and number stories. This will improve problem-solving strategies and help children see that problems can be solved in more than one way. 
We are enjoying reading the delightful book, Rent a Third Grader. We are learning how the class worked together to save Partner, a beloved member of their community.
Flat Stanleys have begun arriving! We look forward to learning about all the fun places Stanley has been.
We will soon begin our Macon unit and will learn about many interesting, historic places in our city. Our Downtown Tour later in October will be the perfect complement to our unit!
Our Soil Science unit continues. In Science Lab today we made a model to compare water that has passed through polluted soil and nonpolluted soil.We discussed the various kinds of pollution and its effects on plants, animals, and humans. Next week in class we will become "soil detectives" and use our observation skills and knowledge about soil to figure out the components of our mystery soils.
Check out some fun pics of our lab today!
Look at the change to the run-off when pollution (red Kool-aid) was added to our soil!!!
