Making Bar Graphs

As a wrap up to Unit 2, each group of students determined what items they would bring in to chart.  The groups were required to analyze the data of what they brought in,

determine the minimum and maximum numbers along with the mode. 

Students then had to create a bar graph displaying their information.

Skittles Galore separated by colors.

Candy separated by types.

Jolly Ranchers by colors.

Types of trophies was the choice of this group.

Graphing and decorating is so much fun.

Writing Anecdotes

Our writing this quarter has focused on Comparison writing.  The students have been busy writing their vision statements and central questions.  Mrs. Robinson stopped by to assist students in writing their anecdotes.  We are taking what we are learning in Writing and carrying it over to Science.  The students have been comparing vertebrates to invertebrates.

Using our sketchings to help guide our vision statements.

A Moment From the Week

The Regional School was awesome.  We played a dancing game.  We tried to help our partner. There was a sensory room that had a water bed.  We had lots of fun.  The dancing game was when a Regional School sudent and a St. Paul's student tried to do what the other student did.  It was very hard.

Regional School Visit

I can't find the proper words to describe the awesomeness of today.  My students truly represented what it meant to be a St. Paul's Saint.  I hope the pictures paint a picture of what the students experienced today.  Please enjoy the pictures comment free.
