Our Day Today!ReadingThis week in Reading Street, we will be learning all about the desert and why you can discover by exploring it. We will read our expository text tomorrow and then start responding to our text in our writing station this week. Computer LabWe had a great time getting on Lexia in the computer lab today! Everyone was able to log in and start working on their reading skills. MathWe are practicing how to order numbers this week. We will be ordering from least to greatest and greatest to least. We will also be practicing how to count by fives, tens, and hundreds. Today we worked with groups to order numbers. We used cards to practice ordering first. Then we worked on teams to roll dice to make three digit numbers. We wrote our numbers, ordered them, and then showed one more/one less, ten more/ten less, and one hundred more/one hundred less. Science: States of MatterWe learned about the different states of matter today! First we watched a video on Brainpop Jr to learn about them and discover vocabulary to help us describe properties of each state. Then we observed objects and states of matter in containers and then what they looked like when you take that container away. The ContainersOur containers were balloons. Inside each balloon was a solid, liquid, or gas. We started out by setting up our science journals for the observation. We observed each container and wrote down different properties about each one. Removing the ContainersNext, we removed the containers from our solid, liquid and gas. Before each was removed, we questioned and predicted what would happen to the inside of the container after each balloon was removed. What would happen to the solid? To the liquid? To the gas? It was very neat to see if our predictions were correct. We observed and recorded what happened to each state of matter as the container was removed. After this, we discussed how matter is made up of tiny particles called molecules. Molecules behave differently in each state of matter. We looked at this anchor chart and then wrote down this information in our science journals. Just for fun, we decided to keep our solid and liquid until tomorrow to see what happens to it over night. Will our solid still be a solid? Star Moment!Today during music, Olive was asked to perform a song on the violin!
