Here is what we did today!

We had P.E. (Ishaan)

We had science. One cup got evaporated by the sun and one didn’t! (Daniel) We put 2 cups of water by the windowsill. Each cup had a thermometer and were filled to the same water level. However, one cup was covered in plastic wrap. We noticed that by the end of the day the water level of the cup without plastic wrap was below the line that was drawn and was lower than the other cup! We talked about evaporation and how some of the water from the uncovered cup became water vapor! We also noticed that the cups were the same temperature as the air outside!

We went into the computer lab. (Lauren)

We had writing workshop. We did our opinion. We wrote about sliding on the slide or swinging on the swing. (John) Students decided if they liked sliding or swinging better and then wrote their reasons why.  We have been practicing using the word “because” in our sentences.

Miss Pence and Miss Miller read us a book called The Cloud Book. (Emily)

We made a cloud project with Miss Pence and Miss Miller. (Ella McClary) Students were able to pick one of the types of clouds that we learned about to make using cotton balls: Cirrus (high in the sky, wispy like horse tails), cumulus (big puffy clouds) or stratus (low clouds that are as flat as a pancake). We even had a few cumulonimbus storm clouds!! Ask your student about the hand motions that go with each type of cloud to help us remember!

We had Daily 5. (Alex)

We had math. We did the numbers in 10 frames. (Kaela)

We had Fundations. We pulled out our white boards. (Izzy)


Have a great night!
