We are thankful to be finished with MAP testing! Students will continue keeping iPads, chargers, and keyboards at school.
On Thursday, Mrs. Hanson helped us with a SECRET activity for our 5th graders to celebrate their last year at Paxton! Look for more information soon...
On Friday, we went on a virtual field trip to the St. Louis Zoo! Thank you to the PTA for purchasing this for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders.
We also took advantage of the nice weather Friday and explored the Science Classroom outside!
In the Classroom
We finished our Historical Fiction stories this week! We had a writer's celebration on Wednesday where students had the ability to share their pieces with each other.
We also squeezed in some poetry this week between MAP testing. Students did an amazing job creating some wonderful poems!
In math this week, we practiced measuring volume, estimating, and word problems.
In science this week, students learned more about Forces. We started learning about simple machines and made a desktop level. We used a cotton ball and straw to practice using force to change an object's direction. Finally, we discussed balanced forces by building paper bridges that could hold cubes.
