What's Happening in Room 23?

 

 Our bean plants have finally begun to sprout!

 

 

 The children are so excited!

 

 

In Language Arts, we researched the life of George Washington Carver.  The students wrote about his life and accomplishments and made the portraits of the famous botanist. 

 

In Math, we are learning about fractions.  This is the fraction sort the students completed in class.

 



 

In Science, we learned about matter and the three states of matter:  solids, liquids and gases. 

 

 

This experiment showed the students how solids( baking soda) and liquids (white vinegar) can react and create a gas, blowing up the balloon. 

 

 

This is Oobleck.  It is a suspension created by combining cornstarch and water.  It goes from a solid state to a liquid state and back again. 

 Solid....

 

...then liquid.

 

It was a busy week of learning!

What's Happening in Room 23?

 

 In Science this week, we took a closer look at seeds as part of our plant unit.  The students were given a variety of seeds which we described and compared.  I didn't get photos because I was caught up in what we were doing at the moment.  Their papers will be coming home on Monday. 

 

 

Our final Research project is learning more about George Washington Carver.  He found 100s of uses for peanuts.   Above is our investigation paper. 

 

In Math, we began our Fractions Unit.  In this picture, students are sorting a variety of cards with objects divided into 2 parts.  They had to determine if the object was equally or not equally divided.  We then labeled the objects as 1/2 if the parts were equal.

 

Thank you for stopping by!
