Please join us for Paxton Keeley’s Annual Multicultural Night March 20th!
Congratulations to Josey Sadewhite for earning our Paxton Pride award this week!
Our class is in need of 2 liter, clear bottles for an upcoming science project. We won't be needing the bottles until April, but we need quite a few. If you could start collecting them for our class, you can send them in with your third grader so we have them for our project. Thank you in advance!
We are in need of #2 pencils. Please check with your third grader to see if they could use some more. Our class would also appreciate any donations for students who are out. Thank you!
We had counselor this week with Mrs. Roof! Mrs. Roof is filling in for Mrs. Davison after she had her baby in January.
In the Classroom
We have continuing our study of fractions this week. Students used a variety of tools to find equivalent fractions and to do comparisons. We used fraction circles, number lines, and fraction strips this week. We also solved word problems that included fractions. We will assess over this unit next week.
Students began drafting their opinion pieces this week. We used a graphic organizer on Monday to choose our topic, create a strong thesis, pick three reasons, and brainstorm details and examples. On Tuesday, we began typing our pieces. We will hopefully finish these pieces next week before leaving for Spring Break.
In reading this week, students studied the skills of inferring. We used a book about marionettes to practice this skills as a class.
In Health this week, we learned about our body defenses. Students studied skin, mucus, earwax, white blood cells, and more to identify how they help us fight off viruses. We also made a health habit flip book to discuss how to prevent getting these diseases in the first place. When Mrs. Zapata was here on Wednesday, students learned all about fats and protein. They did a taste test between fried chips and baked chips.
