Today in 6F (3-31-10)

Book Shopping and Edible Cells!

Today we went to the library to "shop" for books by genre. Students are required to have a "Genre Bingo" by the end of the year. This means that they need to read and book talk 5 books of a different genre. Mrs. Raymond pulled books off of the shelves of the library and separated them by genre. Students went with their Books to Read list and found books that they might want to read according to genres. Don't forget that reading logs are due Tuesday and students must complete a book talk by May 1st.

In science today, we put together cells made from cake! It was very fun to see all of the edible materials that students came up with to represent the cell organelles. We worked in assigned groups and presented the representations of animal or plant cells to the class. Then we got to eat the cells! Yum! 6F has a science worksheet due tomorrow.
