Science is off to an awesome start in room 4! Students are grasping concepts about air, learning about compression, pressure, solids, liquids and gases and matter. Students did an exploration activity where they build parachutes and dropped them both inside and outside. They did a wonderful job working in teams and every person was involved. Then students were challenged to add a load to their parachute and design their own parachute. Students shared their parachute with the class and we discussed what worked and what didn't. It was amazing. Today students experienced air pressure using syringes and tubes. Students watched as air pressure built up and eventually launched the end of their syringe across the room. Students worked in pairs for this.
Pajama day was a hit and students were the envy on a day like today with the frigid weather. Students had time to read with their blankets, pillows and stuffed animals and got to design their own pajamas as a fun end of day activity.
In ELA we are looking at -er and -ed words. We are learning root works and have also learned that -ed can make 3 sounds: /ed/, /d/ and /t/. Students have been focused on retelling stories and more specifically on problem and solution and connecting with characters.
Tomorrow we will wrap up the first part of subtraction for the year. Students have done a great jobs using different strategies to solve subtraction story problems. Next week we will look at tallying and some data collection before the start of break!
