| In social studies, I asked the kids, "What is geography?" They had all sorts of guesses. I was impressed with some of them making a connection to the National Geographic Magazine and TV Channel. After finding out what everyone thought, we learned just what geography was: the study of the earth's land. We have since been learning a lot about different types of landforms. |

| As part of our reading lessons for the past couple of weeks, we've been learning about the 3 types of author's purposes. We are learning how to write in each style. This week, we wrote to persuade. Their goal was to persuade you guys (their parents!) to get them something they really wanted. They were pretty good at persuasion, so be prepared:) |

| On Thursday, we participated in a virtual field trip through Discovery Education. This field trip took us to a U.S. naval base in Florida. We learned about the U.S. navy and about how STEM is incorporated into their daily jobs. |
 |
| The kids then built a boat out of aluminum foil. The goal was to build a boat that could hold the most airplanes, just like a real U.S. naval boat! |
 |
| These four tied for first place. Each of their boats held 70 airplanes! |
