Week 10: Synthesizing Superheroes!
This week, we will learning how to synthesize as readers! We learned that readers use their schema (background knowledge) while reading and think about the details to form a bigger picture at the end of the story. We also learned that as readers, our thinking can change as we read a story!
On Thursday, we were synthesizing superheroes! This fit perfectly into our drug free theme of the day: Superheroes and silly socks!
We read the book, Spookley: The Square Pumpkin. As we were reading, we thought about Spookley and how he felt. Our thinking changed through out the story...we were synthesizing superheroes!

Week 9: Turning Liquids into Solids
We have been learning about the three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases.
Our big book in reading class was all about a girl who experimented with water and learned about how heat can change a liquid to a gas and how freezing temperatures can change a liquid to a solid.
In science, we observed how a liquid turned to a solid by making pumpkin popsicles.

Week 8: Magnets!
This week in science, we explored different forces and types of energy. We read an informational book on the smartboard and wrote down four important facts about magnets! I also gave the children a chance to see magnets in action. We had fun cleaning up paperclips with a magnet!

Week 7: Ways to Make 5-9
This week, we started an addition unit in math. We discussed how adding is when you have two parts and you put them together to make a total number. The children also learned that the answer of an addition problem is called a sum.
Each day, we found all the ways to make 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The children used plastic bags with a line drawn down the middle and red and yellow chips inside to create different ways to make a sum.
Here are some pictures of us learning in math:
