Science Lab

Today we visited the Science Lab for our orientation lesson. The students learned the rules and practiced with some of the equipment they will be using this year. Every other Wednesday we will be visiting the lab for lesson with Mrs. Knobbe. Some upcoming lessons are a delicious experiment that shows changes in matter, a lesson that focuses on the properties of matter, and investigating seasonal changes.

Matter

In Science we have been learning about the three states of matter: solids,liquids, and gases.  Students are learning their properties,how to identify them, and how matter can change states. This week a homework assignment will be sent home to go along with our study. It will be due on Thursday. Look for it in your child's take home folder. We will do some fun experiments this week. Look for more on that later ! For now, check out this fun website.

Daily 5 Word Work

We have learned a new component of the Daily 5 called Word Work. Word Work allows students the opportunity to practice spelling words in a variety of ways. Students have learned that if they practice with their words they will become better spellers, readers, and writers. Practicing words also will help others be able to read and enjoy their work. Here are a few ways the students practiced their words today.
