Yesterday, we were learning about measuring to the nearest 1/4 inch. I decided that there is nothing better than to give them the chance to measure items around the room, including themselves!! :)
What is Coffee Shop? It's our monthly book discussion time about the 2 books that they read the last month for our Book Goal :) If they made their 2 book goal & completed their Reading Log/Calendar, students received a treat.
This is the wonderful time for them to share and recommend books to each other!! During our Earth's Land unit in Science we talked about subduction. Subduction is the process when one tectonic plate moves under another. We specifically talked about how an oceanic plate (made of basalt) is heavier than a continental plate (made of granite), so the oceanic plate will slide under the continental plate back into the mantel of the Earth. This was our experiment below :)
Reading outside!! We finished our math work early today, so we went outside for a little reading time. The weather is perfect, with a little breeze!! |
