 Writer's Workshop: We will be writing thank you cards today and tomorrow to some people who generously donated to my projects (Always Question, Always Wonder... & It's More than ABC & 123!) on DonorsChoose.org for the benefit of my students. If you want to see my current project (Create the Space and Learning Happens!) it is posted on DonorsChoose.org.

Math: Measurement

New Concept: Sometimes when we compare the weight of a few items it is hard to tell which one is lighter and which one is heavier. Did you notice that yesterday? We have a tool that can help us called a balance scale. Let’s try it out. Compare the weights of several items that were used the previous day. Demonstrate how the scale dips down on the side that holds the heaviest object.

Whole Group Explore: Today we will find items to compare and see which one will be heavier or lighter by using a balance scale. We will write down what we discover.

Science: Will a Coconut Sink or Float?
The children will become little scientists to form a hypothesis if a coconut will sink or float. We will test it and record our results. We will also try other objects to test.
