What's Happening?!

   The fourth and a half week of school was interesting. First thing to explain is that Ms.Martin brought in an unbelievably HUGE sunflower from her mother's farm. Ms.Martin told us we would save the seeds and feed some to the birds this winter and, we will also take some home for our own and plant them in the spring.
   We also learned about invertebrates. Ms.Martin brought some REAL sponges in last week from Mrs. Richard's art room and it was cool to see that it used to be a real animal. We like mollusks including snails, octopuses, squid, clams, and mussels. We eat some mollusks on Cape Cod!

   In writing workshop, we worked on finding the main idea/topic sentence in a paragraph. We also looked for details in the supporting sentences. We noticed that the topic sentence is usually the first or second sentence and it tells you what the paragraph is going to be about. We are working on writing informative paragraphs on our earthworm observation. We enjoy combining science and writing.
