DAILY 510 minutes of writing stamina was accomplished yesterday! I am tickled at the progress these kiddos are making! Today, I will introduce the next component of DAILY 5...work on writing. The 5 components are:
~Read to Self
~Work on Writing
~Word Work
~Listen to Reading
~Read to Someone

PhyEd Day
Math: Today is the last day of our unit on 2D & 3D Shapes. The kids will play "Simon Says" to direct their partner to put the 3D shape somewhere using positional words such as: beside, in front of, etc.

  The Scientific Method
 Scientists Conduct an Experiment  

Connect: Remember yesterday when we said that a scientist thinks about their question and makes a hypothesis?  
Teach: Today I am going to show you how scientists conduct an experiment to test their hypothesis.  Let me show you what I mean. Remember yesterday when I said: My question was: What will happen to gummy bears when you put them in plain water, vinegar water and baking soda water? My hypothesis was: They will get bigger. I can record on my paper my hypothesis. 
Active Engagement:  Now it’s your turn. You are going to be a scientist! I want you to think about what YOU think each gummy bear is going to look like. Draw pictures to show what you think will happen.  Invite the children to fill out their recording page.
