Explorer Research

Sorting and organizing our notes

 Turning our notes into a research paper

Explorer Project by Grace
This week we started our explorer project. We are researching our explorers, typing about our explorers  and then we will be making a website at the end. I think the hard part about this project is researching useful information because some of the websites I found didn't have enough information or repeated information I already had.

Teamwork Challenges by Charles
At gym we are doing challenges using teamwork. For one of the stations 2 people walk on 2 paddles and walk at the same time. Another station is that you walk on one island ( which is just a wooden box)  to a another island but you can't jump to the other island. So you use 2 wooden board  and connect them to the other island. Don't run because I did and slipped and felt hard on the ground. :-} :-)

Heroes Project by Erin
This week we were with our 3rd and 2nd grade friends. We were studying many heroes, and had to learn about them. We had to make a Prezi about them. We got to present the Prezi in front of the other groups. We all had a lot of fun!

Enrichment Clusters by Zach
In class this week we did an enrichment cluster. In my group that I am in we are doing animation.We are supposed to do a PSA or a commercial. Some people are doing a PSA about recycling or about Patton. Maybe something that makes us learn like reading.

Making Prezis about Amerigo Vespucci.

Enrichment Clusters by Conor
Enrichment clusters are all about your interests and what you like. My cluster is Deep Sea Discovery. We've been finding out ways to save sea life.  Our project is trying to put buckets around the school to collect  money in them, to save sea life.

Laura Ingalls Wilder Assembly by Ben
When we went to the assembly we watched 4 actors act out Laura Ingall's books. They acted as if the were traveling to different places on the prairie. At the end one of the girls goes to a blind college because she is blind. Also on the very end the other girl goes off to be a teacher and the mom and the dad are stuck at home all sad that there children are gone.
