Our classroom is a busy place right now as we are working on a lot of different activities and concepts. We have continued to work with water and heat by observing the physical properties of water and ice. We also were trying to melt an ice cube quickly. This activity reinforced the idea that heat (especially body heat) is very powerful when it comes to changing things from a liquid to a solid!
Elliot was our winner by being the first student to melt his ice cube!
We also had a nice visit from Dylan's grandma who was our Mystery Reader. We really enjoyed Stone Soup and the lesson the story taught us.
We are going to try and see the work of the sun as we use it to grow an indoor herb garden. Friday we planted our seeds and hope to use our knowledge of what living things need to survive to cultivate some delicious herbs! We'll keep you posted on our green thumb status!
We also finished up our How-To writing unit. It was amazing to see how many books the students wrote. They chose their favorite to edit and publish! Some students took home all of their stories already. Other students will be bringing theirs home this week.
