This morning Jeff Stockton came into our class and finished the story about Chinooks.  Please ask your child how chinooks come about.  Also, below are some pictures during this presentation.  Students were asked to create a bullseye rubic, as well without speaking, form groups of four.  During this time groups were required to create the letter O and X, as well a toaster and a car without speaking.

We continued to read our read aloud book Wonder.  We have finished the second section of this book and we will start the third section on Monday.

For homework I would like the students to answer the following questions on kidblog:
1) What did Via convince Auggie to do? and Why?
2) Why do you think Auggie decided to go back to school?

This afternoon we continued with our inquiry into Mars.  Students used books, magazines, Internet, etc. to research facts about Mars.  There are a number of websites and videos on our class website.  If students would like to continue with their research over the weekend they can use the resource page from our classroom website.  With the research students created a web with a number of facts about Mars.  Watch Anukula explain a fun fact about Mars.

Please see the video below that the students made of "Random Acts of Kindness".  Also, you can check out our class twitter account at @learners82 which will show this video as well.
