What's Inside A Flower Wednesday

Today was Lab day. We observed and dissected Astormeria flowers. Kids were able to identify reproductive parts, chlorophyll- filled leaves and stem structure.  Tomorrow we will label and annotate to create colorful infographics.  What's an infographic?  Use the root clues to figure it out!  We also took a math test today.  We will correct tomorrow.  Have you noticed that we are skipping around a bit in math? Yesterday, we worked on perimeter and area. Today was all about customary measurement. Don't worry, we will cover these concepts in depth in the next few weeks.  I want to make sure that we cover the entire 4th grade curriculum, and some of the 5th, before next week's MAP test.

This evening at home....

  • complete the Owen and Mzee handout.
  • complete the Measurement Handout.
  • if you can, check out the Astromeria link on Edmodo.  Isa also posted a great link that will help you with your infographic tomorrow.



Why am I posting this picture?  Explain to someone at home how this image connects to Maniac Magee and the chapters we read today.  How does sharing a meal help connect people?
