We also made a graphic organizer of words to describe the main character Max. We decided he was "naughty, wild, creative, sneaky". We then used our imagination and drew our own wild thing and wrote describing words about it.
In math, we created wild creatures. Everyone spun a spinner to see how they would decorate their creature. We learned that the bigger the space on the spinner, the higher the probability that you would land there. Therefore, most of us landed on "stripes and spots" and fewer landed on just "spots" or just "stripes". We then analyzed our data:
In social studies, we learned about Christopher Columbus. We created a map to show his journey to the new land.
To further celebrate Columbus's successful voyage, we conducted a science experiment. We made predictions about if an object would sink or float. We then tested our predictions by placing objects in water and observing the results. We recorded our findings on paper.
