Book Unveiling!!!

I was so incredibly proud of my class for taking their writing through the entire writing process. The class was so excited about their accomplishment and so was I. I know I will cherish the first class that published a book, I hope they will too!

Catapulting

Catapulting is a great way to see how we can make work easier. Lifting a Cheerio is very difficult, and we need a simple machine to help. The goal of today's lesson was to investigate if moving the location of the fulcrum affected the distance of the Cheerio.

Each Kindness

Today during Writer's Workshop we read a story called, Each Kindness, written by Jacqueline Woodson. The main idea of the story was that even the small acts of kindness can change the world. After reading and discussing the story, each student was able to place a marble in a bowl of water and tell an act of kindness they have done. We watched the ripples of water and discussed how one act of kindness travels along way.

During science we investigated with how far an ice cube slides across different types of surfaces. The class realized that the rougher the material the ice cube traveled less. We have been discussing friction and how the rougher the surface, the more friction something has.
