How fast the First Six Weeks of school has passed. We studied Place Value in Math. Here students are making groups of ten with Cherrios on a toothpick. How many does ten sticks make?
We now have ipads to use in class. The students are playing a game called, Wings, where they have to make the bird fly to the greater number.
After making the groups of ten, students were asked to write out the value of their Cherrios, in hundreds, tens and ones.
Every Friday morning those students who have read and taken tests on four AR books get some free choice time. These construction legos are always a popular choice.
Free time with the ipads.
Sushi Monster is a fun choice for the students. He eats numbers in groups of three.
Apple Science was an exciting day. Here are the cut up apples in the process of making applesauce. We have been learning about the kinds of Matter. We are changing matter when we cut up the apples and add heat to them.
This is a beautiful pie made by a parent for us to sample on Apple Science Day. Thanks so everyone who sent in samples of apple procducts. We had apple cereal, apple bars, apple licorice, dried apples and even some apple mentos. We tasted and voted on our favorite apple treat.
One day we went to our school science lab. We were learning about the density in different kinds of liquids. It was amazing when we started with a heavy liquid like honey and then measured other liquids by comparing them in weight to the honey. We discovered that alcohol had the least density and the most viscosity( a big word which means how easy does is pour) of all the liquids we used. . It was fun to see the liquids layer as shown in the picture above. We learned that all liquids are not the same.
Enjoy the rest of the pictures taken during the First Six Weeks of school.
