We put our pumpkin out to decompose. Who has been eating our pumpkin? What do you think the squirrel is doing? Leave a post.

We are reading a new series of books in class. We finished the first book today and then checked out this website. We fell in love with it and thought it would be great to have it on our blog.http://www.mercywatson.com/

In library, we have been learning about a girl named Victoria. We learned about Victoria by looking at primary source documents. Primary Sources are a first-hand, original account, record, or evidence about a person, place, object, or an event. To learn more about what a primary source is, watch the extranormal video below.

Below are the four documents we studied using a three-step process: “Observe, Reflect, Question.” We worked together in groups and shared our thinking. As we examined the primary source documents we looked for clues about the life of Victoria.

What clues did you find about the life of Victoria using the primary source documents? What story do they tell about Victoria? Let us know. Write it down and we will share it with the class.

Good luck! We know you can do it. The more you practice the better you will get. Please bring your work to school so we can share it.

Halloween Extravaganza by Slidely Slideshow

This past week we began talking about the American Flag. As good citizens it is important that we know about our countries symbols. Did you know that the first official American flag was displayed on June 14, 1777? Wow, that was a long time ago! The current American flag (50 stars and 13 stripes) was displayed for the first time on July 4, 1960. So… I thought it might be fun to go on a search for the American flag. As you are out and about this weekend, count how many American flags you see. It would be interesting to know where you saw at least one of them. Write a comment and we will share your evidence with the class on Tuesday.
