The Drop Everything And Write school-wide event took place on Friday, February 7th. Our writing buddies are students in Mrs. Gilchrist's fifth grade classroom. The topic was compare and contrast. Fifth graders helped guide students in our class as they compared and contrasted two birthdays from two passages they had previously read.
In January and February we have been learning all about how rain and wind can effect the soil. Students worked in pairs to create mountains and then made it rain. The result? Rain can create areas of streams on mountains or cause canyons to occur depending upon whether the land is mountainous or flat!
