Last week we started writing out rough drafts about the Oregon Trail. ( A field trip we went on in April.) Ms.Brown is taking it as a teacher sample. Last week we started editing and this week we started our final drafts. Also last week we started to learn a Lewis and Clark rap. We will perform it at art night. And Ms. Brown is trying to fit us into FAM to sing for the whole school! If you don't know who Lewis and Clark are look it up we are not explaining it here. On Monday we started a new science unit where we switch to different classrooms. Our whole class is going to Mrs. Hirata's class. Each class has a different science subject. Mrs. Hirata's is working on electricity, Mrs. Largo is working on land and water and Ms. Brown is working on bones and skeletons. This week we have been working on a Lewis and clark timeline. You get a date and a paragraph and you find your place on the timeline. Before you find your place you have to trade with some people to find the paragraph that goes with your date. Sometimes people are right and sometimes people are wrong. On Thursday morning we researched Lewis and Clark. We had to research 1 animal they discovered and 1 plant they discovered. Then we had to write a small paragraph about it with a partner. And then you had to draw a picture of the plant and the animal. And that's all that we did this week ( and a little bit of last week) so we hope we filled you in on a little bit of last week and most of this week!
