TOMORROW IS WOW DAY! WEAR YOUR FAVORITE APPROPRIATE CLOTHES.
This morning we finished studying for the state capitals test. THE TEST IS TOMORROW MORNING.
We reviewed our five words, made spelling ornaments or snowflakes, and worked on capitalizing and punctuating friendly letters, particularly addresses. THE LANGUAGE ARTS TEST IS TOMORROW MORNING.
Johnny Tremain reading is to page 249, just to the end of Section Three. We will (hopefully!) finish the book tomorrow. There will be great cheering! We watched ten more minutes of the movie. The students are following the movie well, in part because we have discussed the book and time period in depth.
MATH HOMEWORK IS EXERCISE 14. This is a difficult concept. We cut solids on edges today and made nets out of them. Students learned that adjacent edges must match in length. We cut out many nets and folded and shaped them to make 3-dimensional objects: rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, cubes, square pyramids, triangular pyramids, cylinders, etc.
4th Graders enjoyed estimating and measuring magnetic force. We attached a bent paper clip to a magnet and hung paper clips to the magnet until it could no longer bear the weight. Then we recorded the data and tried the experiment with two attached magnets, then three. The results were interesting.
After recess we participated in a Storm Water presentation. Students learned about the water cycle and water villains. We learned that only 1/2 of a percent of the earth's water is truly drinkable. We learned how to keep the gutters free of toxic waste products.
At the end of the day we treated ourselves to Bill Nye the Science Guy - Magnetism.
