Week 5: Oct. 3-7, 2011

This week the weather felt like summer! Our painted lady butterflies all emerged and we were able to do a few investigations to see if they'd like bananas and grapes before we released them. In science we started a new unit on the metric system and did a few measuring lessons. We had a technology lesson with Mrs. Toll and created butterflies showing warning and mimic coloration using Pixie. On Thursday we had our all-school BBQ and many parents showed up for lunch. The students were so excited! We went on a fall nature hike later that afternoon through the nature center behind our school. Students worked with a partner to take digital photos. They worked on taking photos using different settings and from interesting perspectives. Their photos were beautiful! Check them out on our homepage. On Friday students started working on their first science blog post!
