Today we began our second novel study Chocolate Touch. We looked at the cover page, read the back and made predictions for what we think the story might be about. Then we read chapter one. We learned about John Midas and how he sometimes breaks the rules, has a sister named Mary, he liked to climb trees, he liked school, he is learning to play the trumpet, and his LOVE for all things candy and chocolate.
John had spots on his nose so he had to go visit Dr. Cranium who said he was eating too much candy/chocolate. John's dad tries to convince him that there is a time and place for everything, including chocolate. His dad even tells him that eating so much chocolate makes his mother sad. John doesn't believe him.

Math -
Students have been working very hard learning about data management. Students have learned how to collect and tally data by asking questions, they have learned how to record data, they have then learned how to place it on a bar or pictograph. Students have also begun learning how to read the results from Data in a chart and on a graph.
Students today worked on organizing and creating their own graphs.
Inquiry into Inventions/Inventors
Today we learned about how inventions happen. We learned that almost all the time it takes more then one try (sometimes several) to get an invention just right. We watched a fun science video about inventions and inventors.
We ended our day with a house game and awards assembly, this month's award was risk taker! Congratulations to Lizzie who is our award winner!
