We concluded our integrated social studies and reading unit on the election. This week, we staged a mock debate. Students spoke in the voice of our two candidates, Harry Potter and Tom Brady, to share their perspectives on questions posed by our moderator. When the time came for our final election, Harry Potter came out on top and was elected President of Room 227. Congratulations to President Potter and his supporters!
In math, we practiced different strategies for solving multiplication problems. Some of our favorite strategies include drawing a picture and using addition.
In science, we finished our engineering design challenge using paper airplanes. We found that the best paper airplane design was one that was compact and lightweight to offset gravitational forces. We had a lot of fun testing our airplane designs!
In preparation for our field trip to Plimoth Plantation next week, we have been learning about the Native American Wampanoag tribe. This week, we read about the seasonal life of the Wampanoag. I'm looking forward to our trip on Monday!
