For Frizzle Friday this week we worked on testing different objects to see if they were magnetic, how much they weighed, and if they would sink or float. These tests answered some of the questions learners asked last week during Frizzle Friday.

Learners also have been working hard on their drama skit with their group this week. Drama is also a way to express yourself! Groups have picked a classic story to act out. Learners are using Reader's Theater scripts to help them practice which also works on reading fluency! We got to end the week with our awesome guest reader, Mrs. Fang!
