Weekly Reflection: October 12

This week in class...
In science we learned about how plates move and Pangaea. Plates can converge (“collide”), diverge (“separate”),  and transform (“scrape and slide”). We also learned about our geosphere, the crust, mantle, the outer core and the inner core. We learned about volcanoes and why/how they erupt.

We learned if we practice and learn new things, we can make our brains stronger.  

Look how much we have learned so far this year!

This week in class...

We worked on models for the earth like convergent plates, divergent plates and transform plates. We got to pick what we wanted to make the plates with. We could make it with clay and we could put it on plates and all that stuff. We made movies and pic collages and shared what we learned with the class. All of the 60 second presentations were good. We are learning about the crust of the earth, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. We learned about erosion, deposition, weathering and abrasion.

This week our school started reading “Wishtree” by Katherine Applegate for One Book, One School. It is about a Wishtree named Red, who has a best friend who is a crow (Bongo), and a family of opossums who live in a hollow, and a lonely girl next door who is in need of a friend. She hangs a special wish that will not soon be forgotten. The school is on chapter 10 and people are enjoying it. Our past “One book, One School” books have been “The Wild Robot” and “Nest for Celeste”. The entire school is reading “Wishtree”.
