Red-footed tortoises

On Wednesday, Mr. Fitch's class had a great opportunity in science. Our fifth-grade neighbors (Mrs. Wulfkuhl's class -- visit their blog at http://wulfkuhle5.blogspot.com) had some four-footed guests and Mr. Fitch's class was invited to come see. We learned about red-footed tortoises. Here are some of the facts we learned:

• The temperature of the eggs determine whether the tortoises are boys or girls when they hatch.
• They live in South America, specifically in humid forests.
  
• They are omnivores, but most of the time prefer plants.
• Some people eat the tortoises.

We had a great time learning about the tortoises, feeding them and watching them move around the classroom.

The votes are in!

Last week, Mr. Fitch's class read an article about voting during reading class and Mrs. Griffin thought it would be a great idea to elect a reading president. She didn't understand that the election would take on a life of its own.
First, each reading group nominated a candidate. That was hard. Some people were mad and sad when they weren't chosen as a candidate. All four candidates turned out to be boys and that made the girls more angry. Mrs. Griffin told them they could create a write-in campaign and see if they could get enough support for a write-in candidate. This is much more difficult, however, because people have to actually write the person's name on the ballot.
The room was plastered with campaign posters and each candidate gave a short speech. One candidate decided to drop out of the race as well. On the day of the election, C brought cupcakes in hopes of swaying voters to her write-in campaign.
Students lined up to vote, signed to signify they received a ballot and voted in a voting booth. When the votes were tallied, C's cupcakes seemed to make the difference. She had won!
It was a great experience for our whole classroom. For the next two weeks, C will decide where everyone sits, take attendance and determine which stations everyone is required to complete.
