Dress Like A Farmer Day

We have been learning about animals and crops found on farms and what it would be like to live on a farm.  We learned that farms are very important to our lives and that most of the food we eat comes from farms.  At the end of our unit we had Dress Like a Farmer Day.  We pretended to do chores you would find farmers doing like milking a cow, sheering sheep, making butter and feeding the chickens.  We also went on a potato hunt and learned that Idaho is famous for our potatoes farms. We learned that horses live on ranches and cowboys take care of them.  We loved making butter and eating it. We learned that it is a lot of work to live on a farm and we are very grateful for farmers.

Kindness Week

We all received new shirts to remind us how important it is to be kind all the time.  We set a goal to eat with a new friend each day at lunch,  We wrote a thank you book to our music teacher Mr. O'Brien.  We did a special 'thank you' to our Librarian, Mrs. Edwards.  We tried to be kind to each other.  It was a fun week.  We also learned about odd and even numbers.  We traveled to 24 different stations correctly writing the number of cubes and if the number was odd or even. Fun, kind learning!

Thank You Big Buddies

Our fifth grade big buddies read with us each week.  They also help us take A.R. tests.  We have the best big buddies ever.

Magic e Slidders

We discovered that short vowel words change to long vowel words by adding an e at the end.  We each had a slider to read a bunch of magic e words.  It was fun to watch the words change.
