Science Activity

Yesterday we took sugar cubes and looked at them with a hand lense. We noticed the straight edges and pointy corners. Then we put them in a jar and shook the jar for a minute. We took out the sugar cubes and they now had round edges. We talked about how what happened to the sugar cubes also happens to rocks. It's just like weathering and erosion.
Check out our pictures.

Learning 2 digit Subtraction

We used unifix cubes today to show how to subtract 2 digit numbers with regrouping. We will continue to practice with cubes this week before moving to just paper & pencil.

Making Inferences

We are learning about making inferences about what characters are thinking and feeling. I read a story about Mary Jo and the students used their Activotes to text in their answers about what she was thinking or feeling at different times during the story.

Library Fun

We loved seeing the new library books. We will get to check them out next week.

I'm sending home the November service hour sheet. If your child completes any service hours in November, please record it on the record sheet. Please send in the October service hour sheet. If your child completes 50 service hours he or she will earn the Presidential Service Award.
