This is when we were going to smash the rocks and

up above we were trying to put the rocks back together.

This week in science we smashed rocks and found out that pumice is the softest and quartzite is the hardest. Also we made our own glaciers. In the glacier we found pebbles that were like erratics, giant boulder that was moved by the glaciers.  We also found soil and other sediment that was like the moraines that were deposited by the glaciers after they melted.

We have started on our first week of spelling groups. We have a menu of spelling activities to choose from to work on the meanings of our spelling words.  We have to order "one thing off the menu".

We are going to start a fundraiser for people with Leukemia and Lymphoma. Our school will bring in loose change to help patients who are sick. The class that  raises the highest amount of money, wins pasta from Olive Garden all for helping others in need.

This week was awesome! We had a assembly and we Skyped with the author of The Wild Robot, Peter Brown! We asked him many questions and we showed him our robots we made.

We are getting ready to start our first Book Clubs. We used The Wild Robot for our example to learn how to do the different jobs of a Book Club. Book Clubs are where we all switch classrooms and have book clubs. Every 4th grade teacher will host a different genre. Mrs.Cioni has anything that has to do with survival. Ms. Miller has realistic fiction. Mrs. Koenig has fantasy. This was our week! Thanks!

Mr. Cool is our crazy refrigerator robot. We made him because

                                we are reading the book "The Wild Robot".

This week we did many superior things. It was very fun! One of the things that we did was build Mr. Cool, the refrigerator robot. He has a refrigerator for his body and it is awesome! It has a microwave and a water bottle filler. We also started our first BIG project on volcanoes.  We have an option of creating a poster, writing a book, or making  Volcanoes.
