APRIL ADVENTURES
This month we launched our exploration into nonfiction texts. Working hard to "Rev-up" our minds for nonfiction reading in a similar way that we prepare ourselves to read a fiction book. We have been working hard to identify the Main Idea of a text and pull out the important supporting details. We learned that "pop-out" sentences, titles, headings, and subheadings can be really helpful when trying to determine the Main Idea of a text. We've also learned that Boxes & Bullets really allow us to organize the information we obtain from reading nonfiction texts. 
Adventure #2 was Mr. Font's Annual Peep Catapult Challenge. Here you had to work collaboratively to design a catapult that would send your Peep the furthest distance down the hallway. Even though many of you had difficulty in your first trial run- you were able to head back to your design, conduct some research, and make great improvements in the distance your Peep could travel. 
Adventure #3 took us to Poricy Park for our class trip. We spent time learn gin about the pond ecosystem and the animals that can survive in the ecosystem. Even though it was cold- we had a good time.
I'm wondering... How did you feel about our April Adventures? Let me know in the comments below!
