Building Bridges

Our class has been working hard at building bridges as a culminating activity for the Science unit on Structures with Mrs. Danyluk. Each student planned the materials and design for their bridge based on the knowledge they have gained throughout the unit. Students assessed the stability of their bridges by testing how many rolls of pennies they could support.

3-2-1

Today we spent some time buddy reading with nonfiction books. In reponse to our partner's book we had to write 3 things we learned, 2 interesting facts, and 1 question we would like to ask. Buddy Reading is a popular activity in our room - it's fun to learn from our friends!

This is a photostory we created after reading What Does Peace Feel Like? byVladimir Radunsky. (It is rather quiet so you may need to adjust your volume.)
