This week we read a lot of nonfiction texts to expand our knowledge of bats and spiders. We focused on bats Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and then switched to spiders on Thursday and Friday. We made a KWL chart for both, and I was so impressed with the facts students already knew! Students were very interested in echolocation. We did an echolocation science experiment. We learned that bats make a lot of noise by sending out beeps, but human ears can't hear them. We also learned that the brown bat, which lives in our area, eats A LOT of bugs! This week also kicked off our Boosterthon Fun Run. Our school's goal is to raise $25,000 for outdoor enhancements and STEAM. Our class is WINNING, with our current stats showing $88 per lap. Thank YOU for all of your support. The kids were excited to saran wrap "Chocolate E-Claire" to the pole. We also enjoyed our top prize, MOVIE DAY on Friday. The running of the Fun Run will be Wednesday, October 23rd at 10:15am. I'll put together a schedule for when we get to enjoy all of the other prizes we earned on our Pledge-O-Meter! I also want to thank all of the parents who volunteered in the classroom this week. It was so nice having the extra hands.
Next week, PUMPKINS and patterns and geography, oh my!
