Friday update

Hey there, sorry for the delay but I wrote a post earlier and was struggling to post it. Anyway we had a fabulous week. It wrapped up with the Pops Concert which is always a blast. Throughout the week we worked with data, experimented more with liquids, created informational pieces of writing, started some new book group books and so much more.

In math we have been working with data and tables. We have been using repeating patterns to practice multiplication. Through this study we have been using from a fictional planet of Rhomaar. These children accrue marbles at a certain rate per night for thirty nights. This accumulation of marbles is what we are tracking with data tables. Students are being very diligent working with tables and determining patterns.

 

We also have been working with liquids. We are experimenting with them to learn about how they get their shape. On Thursday we experimented with liquids and tried to permanently change their shape....a lot of bubbles and spilled water was the result.

Every morning we have a morning meeting, and in that meeting we always do an activity. Today's activity was one called hide-your-teeth. This activity is hilarious as students try to say one another's name with their lips stretched over their teeth. I hope the following pictures do it justice:

Well thanks another great week, and keep your eyes open for the conference sign up sheet, it is in your student's Friday folder. If you see your name on there you are all signed up, if you only see other peoples names, just add yours in and I will get you signed up. Have a great weekend.
