Week of March 25-29

Monday

We are having math menu this is Lucas doing a problem solver.

In math today we had to make an addition problem and make it easier by using what we know.

We got a new student! His name is Chad he came from Edmunds elementary school in Burlington.

We are doing a science lab. This is the sand group testing some sand.

 

 

Here are the summary's that the groups used for the beginning middle and end.

Tuesday

 

We gave strategies that we used for a broken calculator problem.

This is Tuesday's J.A.M (Just a Minute) where we make up our own dance moves this is Lucas's dance move.

We had read aloud we are still reading The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate.

This is a picture of some ice covered in sawdust from our science lab.

Wednesday.

We shared our subtraction strategies for subtraction in math today.

We had Guidance today where we have to make up our own bumpy and smooth problems.

We are doing our J.A.M(just a minute) were we have to do squats.

Thursday

 

This is Thursday's P.O.D(problem of the day)

We had k-buddy time in the computer lab. We got to type stories with them using a cool site called Storybird.

We posted our glogs on edmodo, our Skype pals will give us feedback about them.

We learned more about our friends from New Jersey by watching and listening to their Vokis.

We had E.L.F this is the puppet show. We learned more about trees and twigs.

This is J.p is posing as a twig.

Friday

We had classroom cáfe.

We are doing are end of unit assement for science about matter where we are trying to help the road crew melt ice of the road to keep the road safe with 3 options of sand,salt, or ice. Do you have a prediction on which will work best?

We mailed our persuasive letters to the local reps for Jericho.

We had our last day of open gym.

Happy Easter,

Week of 3/18/13

On Tuesday we played a game that involves addition.

We did a jam with clapping, patting, and snapping.

On Wednesday we did a jam where we have to copy Mrs. Randall.

We had guidance on Wednesday. In guidance we learned about how to not let people change your mood. We also did little skits on how to get on the good side of someone who is annoying you.

We skyped a class in New Jersey who explained to us what a voki is. You can find out at www.voki.com.

We went to the Echo center on Thursday! We had to get ready. We are working on cursive while we wait for the bus.

Here we are at the Echo center. We learned that there are about 6.8 trillion gallons in lake Champlain.

We learned about the properties of solids, liquids, and gases.

Here we are, trying to figure out if hot or cold water is more dense than the other.

We found out that cold water is more dense.

Here, Jackson, JP, and Kieley are pretending to be water molecules.

We see what happens when we put sand in a beaker and swirl the beaker around. We also did this with rocks.

The sand lifted up a little bit and the rocks shifted around a little bit.

We also see what happens when we contaminate the water. Our group used "cow urine". The "cow urine" dissolved and made the water yellow.

We put fake animals in a model of lake Champlain. We learned about contaminating the water and how it affects the animals.

 

We learned about what would happen if there was a storm on contaminated water.

These ball bearings represent the atoms in metal.

We saw how big a moose skull is.

We dissected owl pellets.

Now that we finished our cool field trip, we are doing a self reflection.

We hope you have a great weekend! Lucas

ECHO Science Center Fun! Thursday March 21, 2013

Exploring properties of water! Is cold water more dense than hot water? We tested it out!

Did you know that water is a universal solvent?

 

We created a habitat and told a story about water pollution. The rain took the pollutants into the lake!
