What We Learned Today...April 14th

ELA: We started out our morning with the practice RAD tests we were working on yesterday and finished up the section on text features and worked on identifying the main ideas and supporting details.

Genius Hour: Students had the period to research their projects as well as work on their first blog post update.

Science: After lunch we continued where we left off yesterday by learning about the four types of tissue in the human body.  We also began to look at Organ Systems and how they work together to make our bodies function.

Assembly/Social Studies: During the last hour of the day we headed to the gym for a special assembly to kick off our Cookie Dough drive.  Once we were done, we headed back to the classroom and students had the opportunity to spent a few minutes working on their Camp Planning for our Colonization Simulation.
