Mood Monster's Yoga Workshop
is on the App Store!
We are so excited and proud to have our mood management iOS app, Mood Monster's Yoga Workshop, accepted to the App Store! Please visit the Mood Monster website to learn more and download our app on the App Store today!
We had an incredible learning experience creating this app, as we all learned to code together. We noticed a few corrections that we need to make, so I will be doing those for version 2.

#GlobalLearningBigDay
Students in our class and at Roosevelt Middle School made over 30 instructional videos to teach others how to do a variety of skills, including making animations, making and editing movies, and even about the Pythagorean Theorum. Visit the #GlobalLearningBigDay website and watch the playlist. We had a great time, and the kids did an incredible job.
Reader's workshop: Cause and effect
This week in our information circles, we talked about using compare/contrast and cause/effect relationships to make sense of information when researching a topic. In their information circles, students are thinking about:
Geology: How and why are mountains formed?
Art and artists: Why is blues music important?
Cultures around the world: How do cultures change over time?

Writer's workshop
Students began to develop original fairy tales. First, they have chosen a character, and developed the character's back story and traits. Next, they decided on a motivation: what does the character want? Students learned this week that really great fairy tale characters have trouble that becomes more trouble, and finally a happy resolution. We will publish our original fairy tales Memorial Day week!
Math: Volume, mass, and working
with 3-digit numbers
We started our last math unit this week, which will be focused mostly on adding and subtracting three-digits numbers and measurement. This week's focus was on the meanings of volume and mass, and finding sums and differences using both types of measurements. A great game for additional practice is Capture from 300 - 600.
The Lincoln Native Garden is looking terrific!
The garden is beginning to look gorgeous! This week, we've had blooms from Shooting Star, Virginia Bluebells, Eastern Red Columbine, Common Spiderwort, and Prairie Phlox. We even saw a Common Yellowthroat in the Meadow Anemone today! On the last day of school, we'd like to invite parents to come at 10:15AM (prior to the Recorder Concert at 11:00AM) to have a tour of the Lincoln Native Garden! Visit our website to learn more about this awesome native habitat.

The Chat: two exciting episodes this week!
The team from The Chat with Mrs. Burns's Third Grade has produced two episodes for your listening pleasure this week: Episode 22 asks, 'What will the future look like?', and Episode 23 is all about our first annual #GlobalLearningBigDay.

Information circles: Art and artists, Cultures Around the World, and Geology
We continue to work in our information circles, students are working on analytic reading, and applying what they are learning to ask and answer questions. For example, the art and artists research group asked this week, 'How does art affect how we see the world?'
Students spent the week reading through their text collections with that question in mind, taking notes on ideas that would help them establish and support their view, and discussing in ideas with their group.

The question the geology group chose was, 'How do volcanoes form?'; and the Cultures Around the World Group chose, 'What are the cultural differences between Mexico and Spain?' We are still working on using our own words to rephrase information we've learned.
Next week: Creating our own Fairy Tales!
We wrapped up our fairy tale adaptions this week, and the students are excited to move into creating original fairy tales. Here is a fun adaptation of The Three Little Pigs called, 'The Three Little Jaguars' by Jack.
#GlobalLearningBigDay
We are so excited to present our inaugural #GlobalLearningBig Day on Wednesday, May 16! #GlobalLearningBigDay is an our interpretation of an online STEM 'conference' for kids to teach and learn from each other. Each student will present a skill, and the event will air on our YouTubeChannel. We are very excited to have students from Roosevelt participating in this event, also; and we hope kids around the world can learn with us!
Some presentations we have planned are:
- Making a Kahoot! for Beginners
- Getting Started with Tynker
- Make an Awesome Presentation with Keynote
- What is a Native Garden, and Why are they Important?
See our Events page for a list of accepted presentations, and our #GlobalLearningBigDay website for more information.

Math: How many miles? Addition, Subtraction, and the number System
As we move into our final unit of the year, I am excited to say that these students are developing excellent mathematical thinking and number sense. Math is always one of our favorite times of the day. We took our time moving through the rather difficult fractions unit, and we will begin exploring (and reviewing) some of the following ideas this week:
- Solving problems involving measurement of liquid volume and mass
- Adding and subtracting fluently
- Describing, analyzing, and comparing strategies for adding and subtracting whole numbers
