Today it was a half day and we did hoops for heart. Its were we do challenges to get money for research.  Then we did speed dating with book so we talked about our favorite books and we talked to more than one person and we did it with Miss Prices class it was so fun. We did so good Mrs.Becker and Miss Price let us talk to who ever we wanted at the end. Then we  had cake because  it was Gissel's birthday and the cake came from DQ it was so good.  That's how our day went.

Here are some pictures from  the day we went sledding.   We had a lot of fun sledding we went at the church hill.  We tried to go down in trains but they  ended in blobs. We got to share are sleds with class mates.  We also did a thing with the inner tubes Mrs.Becker brought it was when 6 or 7 of us all got on the 2 person sled and went down at the same time. There was a few crashes but they where funny. The blobs were the funniest because we all had to hold on to each others sled and that ended up with a  people under their sleds and people on ton top other peoples sleds r just plain on top of other people that why it was so funny. But the good thing is nobody got hurt right. By: Mckenzie  Jansen (: .  Here are some picture of our class.

January 30th, 2014: Researching and Collecting Technical Vocabulary

Today in reading we worked on becoming experts on our research topics.  We practiced finding and using technical vocabulary within our books.  Many of us are able to have conversations about our topics using these technical vocabulary words.  We are sounding more and more like experts every day.  Some of the topics in our room include: Wisconsin, Mummies, Rain Forests, Weather, Volcanos, Sea Turtles, and the Titanic.  We have developed Table of Contents maps to organize our information pulling the most common topics from each of our books.  We have found facts and have taken notes on post it notes which we organized into these categories.  

These ladies work on their topic Sea Turtles

We are learning lots of cool facts about weather

We are collaborating with each other to find information

We have been using many resources in our research

The rainforest group is well on their way to finding technical vocabulary
