Thursday, February 6

Our day started with reading and annotating the article, "Why Choose Tomatoes? – Selecting Plants for Space Travel" individually.  We then joined with a partner to discuss what we had read.  Our next task was to summarize the article.  A summary is a brief statement that includes only the main points.

Kristina Koch is one of 3 astronauts that returned to Earth from the ISS today.  Her mission of 328 days was the longest single space flight by any woman in history.  On the mission, she was involved with experiments for future missions to the Moon and eventually Mars.

We watched a summary video of the landing and a few parts from the beginning of the extended landing.

We looked at the two graphics about the astronauts to see what we could learn about them.

In math, we had students share the area and perimeter for the various places in the school that they measured yesterday using the trundle wheels.

This afternoon, our buddies shared their work for their learning celebration tonight with us.  It is great to see all that they are learning and we look forward to sharing our learning with them before our learning celebration.
