   We had a great week learning about........

In reading we are reading about the amazing and hilarious adventures that 
Maniac faces in a town called Two Mills and comparing those feats in our 
research over Folktales.  We also looked at synonyms and antonyms.

In math we finished our measurement unit over time, area, and perimeter.  But 
keep those analog clocks handy !

In science this week we talked about animal adaptations and inherited 
traits.  The students compared physical and behvioral traits among different 
animals and even worked in groups to creat a New Species of animal.  They 
applied their knowledge of traits and habitats to build a successful 
community for their animal.  

In Writing we began writing our own TALL Tales.  We talked bout exaggerations 
and hyperboles to make our stories shine!  Next week we will publish our 
stories and create "mini-images" of ourselves.
