Inquiry into Language:
Today students learned about writing an explanation. They learned that an explanation can be written to explain how something works or to explain how to do something.
We discussed that an explanation is normally written in paragraph form. We also said that an explanation needs to have a Introduction (a brief statement, question, or definition), Middle (the explanation), and End (a recommendation or a summary.)
Math:
Today students learned about rotations. Students learned that a rotation is when you turn an object on a grid. Students learned that they can rotate an object clockwise or counter clockwise. Students also learned what a full, half, quarter, and three quarter turn looks like. To help students with their understanding we used a clock. Students came up to the board and were asked to make a specific turn. For example, "Show me a three quarter turn clockwise." Students then had to move the ruler on the clock to complete the turn.
Students then completed pg.140-141 in their workbooks. Tomorrow we will do some more practice on rotating shapes on a grid.
Science Fair:
Today we tried our experiment again. We tried adding more baking soda (6 big spoons) and when we added the worms into the vinegar the cup over flowed with fizz and bubbles but the worms still did not float or dance. While we waited for the gummy worms to soak we started to write down our procedure.
Tomorrow we are going to try using hot water and soaking the gummy worms in the baking soda longer.
Library:
Today students had some time with Ms. Hayward at the Library. Ms. Hayward read them a book to get them ready for Kindness day next week and students had some time to exchange their books.
