Garden In a Glove

Today for science we had Experiment Friday.  We worked together with our table groups to plant five seeds in a plastic serving glove.  We each took part in planting our seeds, and when they start growing we will transport them into a cup of soil so they can continue to grow.  

Arrays of Sunshine

We are beginning to learn the basics of multiplication in math, and have been practicing with arrays this week.  As a fun math craftivity we made suns with arrays on them using the product to determine the number of rays their sun has. 



Plants

We are learning about plants in science.  Today we read a book about stems.  Then we started our celery experiment to see what happens when we put a celery stalk in a cup of colored water.  We wrote our hypothesis today and tomorrow we will observe and write our conclusion. 

Candy Cane Experiment

We took vinegar, peppermint extract, and red food coloring and used eye droppers to put it on a plate of baking soda to see what would happen.    It bubbled up and smelled like candy canes.  Then came the grand finale...mentos and coke/diet coke.  Watch the video below of brave Mrs. Larson...sorry it is sideways. 

Landforms and Bodies of Water

We have been studying geography in social studies.  Yesterday we used atlases of different continents and read about the landforms/bodies of water.  Then they worked with partners to draw the continent and label the different landforms and bodies of water. 

Symmetry

Today in math we were reviewing symmetry.  We made symmetrical pictures with pattern blocks and Christmas "symmetrees" with green paint.
