Write Around The School

In Science we discussed the word "dissolve". We tried mixing two different solids with water to see what would happen. First we tried coffee; it smelled delicious, but the solid coffee grinds did not dissolve. Next we tried peach Jello; the crystals completely dissolved! Not only did it dissolve, but it tasted delicious!! Take a look through your pantry, are there any solids in there that would dissolve in water?

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thank you to Mrs. Saville for helping with the glue gun this afternoon!  It was greatly appreciated!

Don't forget....

• There is no school on Monday and Tuesday of next week!

It's Raining, It's Pouring....

In Science, we heated water to make water vapour.  We then cooled the water vapour and it condensed into a liquid again.  Ask your child to explain how we made it rain in our classroom.

In Math today, we read the story Even Steven and Odd Todd.  It is a funny story about two cousins whose lives revolve around things being even numbered or things being odd numbered. 

Ask your child this:  If Even Steven was coming to visit, how many pieces of candy would he like to eat? (Their answer should be an even number)

• Tomorrow hot lunch.
• WWW test tomorrow

Chocolate Milk-sicles!

I apologize for a late blog...but I wasn't absent yesterday afternoon!

In Science yesterday we enjoyed a chocolate milk-sicle.  We changed a liquid into a solid using ice!  It was delicious!

In Math today, we continued our focus on skip counting using a Hundreds Chart.

*Library tomorrow!

Can you make it to Planet Power?

In Health today, we discussed how combing healthy food choices and physical activities help us feel healthy and strong.  We found a game on the internet.  I have posted the link for your child to see if he/she can make it to Planet Power!

In Math today, we used a Hundreds Chart to see patterns when we count by 2, 5, and 10.  To reinforce this skill:

• Choose a starting number between 0 and 100
• Choose an ending number between 0 and 100
• Choose a skip counting pattern
• Have your child lead the counting

For example:  Count backwards by 5s from 45 - 15
