Changing Matter

Yesterday and today we studies how matter changes when we do different things to it.

Doubles and Near Doubles

Students had to each flip a card over. If the students flipped doubles or near doubles they raced to find the sum of the addends. If they won, they recorded their equation on their chart. Students learned that using mental strategies to solve problems was much more efficient than counting with their fingers. 

I'm a Scientist!

We observed, recorded, and asked questions about the "dancing raisins". Students learned that they are scientist!

Getting my classroom ready!

I can't believe it is that time of year again! I'm getting excited! 

Glogster

Check out this glog I created! What a neat website.

Wordle

We learned how to use a new webite called Wordle. We will be using it this year to describe our star student each week and other things. The more you type a word the bigger it gets. Try using it to describe people in your family!

Conserving Natural Resources

We recycled old containers by turning them into something new that we could use!
