Farm Day Field Trip
Artist in Residence!
Literacy
Quarter 4 theme is inspiration and innovation!
Reader's Workshop
We have been reading about many different kinds of inventions that have been made by kids all over the world!
Writer's Workshop
In writer's workshop we have been creating our own invention and writing a persuasive ad/flyer to convince someone to buy our invention. We will also be making a commercial for our invention!
Ask your child... Why was it important to survey our peers when thinking of a useful invention? (To research and gain data about an invention that will not only help us, but others too. This is what people inventing in the real world would do to make sure that their product would sell to others!)
