Solar System Research

Hello students and families!  Can you believe we are already in the 6th six weeks? This year has flown by!  The focus of this six weeks will be RESEARCH!! Each student has chosen a planet to learn more about.  Students will be utilizing both books and the Internet to gather facts.  They will be using various methods to share their knowledge including web charts, flip books, and posters.  I look forward to learning more about each planet!  Parents, ask your child what they have learned :)

***Students, please comment about something interesting that you found out about your planet :)

                          Joyfully,

                                  Mrs. Boehme :)

February 2nd- Groundhog's Day

                           

                                                                                                                                                                               February 1, 2012

Dear Students,

    Tomorrow is Groundhog's Day!  Early tomorrow morning a famous groundhog will make a prediction on whether winter will last six more weeks (sees shadow) or if spring will be here soon (does not see his shadow).  Remember, a prediction is a GUESS so if he is wrong, that's okay as long as he made an EDUCATED guess :)  On the right hand side of this blog you will find a poll.  A poll is where people cast a vote and we find out what the MAJORITY chooses.  (Majority-the most or more than half----this is a vocabulary word this week).  Cast your vote and tomorrow we will see what the groundhog predicts!!

                                                                                         Joyfully,

                                                                                       Mrs. Boehme

P.S. Don't you notice how I wrote this post in the form of a letter which is what we are studying this week?
