| We learned about pollution this week and did an activity with Freddy the Fish. Freddy was a happy fish, until his water became polluted. Unfortunately, Freddy died. The kids had to buy tools to use to try to clean up Freddy's water so that the other fish wouldn't die too. They did a great job working as a team to try to solve the problem. At the end of the experiment, they understood that water pollution is harmful and that is can be difficult to clean up. |

| While reading, The True Gift, the students learned tricky vocabulary words that they would encounter in the story. They worked with partners to match the words with their definitions, and then to apply their knowledge of the vocab words to other situations. |
