We conducted several experiments to test the physical properties of various items last week. We also had a great time exploring science with a wonderful Watchdog Dad Mr. JT.

We folded origami grasshoppers and measured how far they "hopped". To begin our matter unit, we built floating and "sinking" boats to talk about physical properties. A physical property of paper is that it is less dense than water.
Students waited nervously for the first day of school. In math during the first week we worked cooperatively to solve a "How Many Squares" problem.
students did an amazing planning and setting up our Valentine's Day party! Thank you to all parents who donated food and drinks!
Yesterday our class made sundials and went outside several times to track the shadows. We even tracked student shadows and noticed to different locations of the sun.
In math, we explored geometry with tangrams. We challenged our tangrams skils with making a square out of all 7 pieces! Thursday we went outside and practiced our coordinate grid and scatterplot skills on the sidewalk with chalk. We planned our grids in the classroom first, then transferred them to the concrete. To wrap up the activity, each student was given a location to find on a human sized coordinate grid!

Mrs. ReynoldsI love sharing our math and science adventures. No two days are ever the same. Truly engaged children are motivated learners. Categories |
