I liked helping our K-buddies with math, says Emma.
I enjoyed our science labs with matter, says Ceilidh. One of our labs was the "Ice Cube Investigation!" The testable question was, "do ice cubes melt at the same rate all of the time?" Our result was no because temperature, location and time are variables that make a difference.
We also danced to Feliz Navidad in Spanish.
I enjoyed learning the traditional algorithm to solve addition equations, says Aaron.
In art we worked on zoomed in animal pictures. In music we sang 4 more holiday songs.
Using a strategy called "Monitor for meaning" is helpful because we used some fun articles to try out using it. We are working on marking up the text to show our reading thinking.
In math we played close to 1,000 and we are working on using our mental math strategies to get close or on 1,000. One of the strategies is to make the hundreds and tens place value equal 9 and the ones equal 10.
We played a few games Mrs. Randall made on the Smartboard to review our math knowledge. In the horse game, we had 30 seconds to answer a math question. The firecracker would go "boom" if we waited the full time. We thought it was extremely fun and exciting.
We watched some science clips on you tube. One was about walking on corn starch and not sinking! We had a fun, amazing week!
Have a nice weekend,
Lily and Ceilidh!!
* K-Buddies- We are having a blast with our buddy class! They taught us about patterns this week and next week we’ll teach them about how to be a scientist! Shhhh…we’re making rock candy! Our class has been studying states of matter and this is a fun way to show how a liquid becomes a solid. (we copied and pasted this from Mrs. Randall's newsletter!)
