We spent a lot of time in the Pinkerton Patch this week investigating soils! Some master composters from Coppell Community Gardens came to show us how to start our compost piles. We are excited to watch the changes that will begin to take place.
We were able to observe and investigate different types of soil. After, we developed an experiment based on the question., "Which type of soil retains water best for plants?"
This week in Reading Workshop we focused on asking different types of questions when we are reading. Readers were inspired by watching Pixar short films and generating a variety of questions. We also used The Stranger to infer and ask inference questions.
After we conducted our soil experiment, we created graphs to show our results. Learners were also able to draw conclusions about where the best spot would be to plant around Pinkerton.
We have been writing a variety of poems using nature as our inspiration! Learners headed outside to take pictures of things outside that inspire them. We got some beautiful pictures of the natural world around Pinkerton!
I scream, You scream, We all scream for ice cream! We got to celebrate learning our multiplication facts with an ice cream sundae! What a delicious treat!
We started our next unit in math all about decimals! Looking at a number line and zooming in!
