Today fourth and fifth graders were STARR testing, I am PROUD of my little monkeys they were slient in the halls and chose to fallow the behavior in the halls to make sure the older kids could not be interrupted by noise.  We received tons of compliments every time.  I am amazed at their willingness to show what everyone else in school that secondd graders are leaders not followers.  we managed to cover reading groups and continued to discuss the big idea and what details support my main idea.  Then we moved into writing and wrote different leads to our personal narrative.  During math we discussed shapes and what attributes describe shapes.  We learned we can describe shapes using shape, size, vertices, faces, and edges.  We continued our unit on weather and discussed how clouds, seasons, and the position of the sun can change our weather.  Also how low pressure and high pressure can also affect the weather outside.  We will begin the water cycle and then wrap up weather to begin our unit on government.  What do you want to learn about our government?
