We worked so hard today and accomplished a great many things!
Everyone has now started testing their rocks to see if they are igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary. So far we have not had a magnetic rock or a rock that fizzes (because it contains calcium carbonate) but we are hopeful we will see some rocks in action! Any geologists or gemologists or soil experts out there in the parent crowd that would like to come and share their knowledge with us?
Sticker math was a Monday morning challenge today!! It took us into the discussion of sometimes you have to draw yourself a picture to see the answer. So now when we are approaching a story problem we know to read multiple times, circle the numbers, underline the question, box the important words and ask ourselves what are they asking me to do? what is my plan to solve?
When you come Thursday November 22 or Friday November 23 for Student Led conferences we have some goals to share with you. We were busy today up-loading those into our Iris account. We have pictures and everything! Plan to be here.
Scholastic Book Orders due Friday November 16. Pay online, cash or cheque.
Thank you for supporting readers in our classroom.
