Wonderful Wednesday!
I hope you all had a wonderful, relaxing, and magical holiday!
Some updates:
We will be having our next Math test
next Wednesday
We will be going to the Science fair
to learn more about our current UOI unit. Please return the forms and money by
Jan. 15
We began the day having French with Mdm. Stella.
We then moved onto UOI. We first reviewed what we
have learned so far. We then performed another experiment to determine if
adding weight to the top or bottom of a structure affects its stability. We
used a tube with pennies taped to the top and a tube that had pennies taped to
the bottom. We made our prediction about which tube would be most stable: the
tube with the weight at the top or at the bottom. We then performed our
experiment three times. Ms. Jaskolka put each tube on a tray and then she
tipped it over. In the first trial, they both fell at the same time. For the
second and third trial, the tube with the weight at the top fell first. We
learned that adding weight to the top or bottom of a structure affects its
stability. Furthermore, if you want to build a tall structure, you should make
sure to have a strong foundation.
After first recess and lunch, we had physical
education.
We then began learning about writing an explanation:
when you are explaining about something (example: how something looks, feels,
acts, how to do something). We then discussed how a paragraph provides an
explanation about a certain topic. We will be learning how to write an
explanation using paragraphs. Today we focused on the topic sentence. The topic
sentence introduces what our paragraph will be about. We did some examples as a
class and then students made their own topic sentences.
During math, we continued practicing two digit
addition and subtraction word problems.
After second recess and lunch, students wrote
their homework in their agendas and then continued working on their math.
At the end of the day, students shared some fun
and exciting activities that they did over the holiday!
