ECOSYSTEMS ARE SO COOL!!!!  We are enjoying observing our aquarium/terrarium worlds.  We've added fish, worms, crickets, and snails with all different types of natural materials.  On March 21 we connected the two so they become "ecocolumns"!!

Our Jamestown Themed Novels were:

Surviving Jamestown: The Adventures of Young Sam Collier My America : The Starving Time: Elizabeth's Jamestown Colony Diary, Two (My America) Pocahontas And The Strangers Shadows in the Glasshouse (American Girl History Mysteries)

We created Literature Posters and took turns looking for Wow Words (vocabulary), Sensational Sentences (descriptive writing), Deep Questions (what we wonder about in the story), and completing Illustrations that told key events in pictures.  At the end of the book, we charted a character map, story map, big idea for the book, and looked for parts of speech in our Wow Words.  We learned a LOT about Jamestown and how hard life was back then!
