Tuesday

Today we began with our Psalm book illustrating Psalm 8.
In math students took the Cumulative test for Units 1-5. Tomorrow begins with the 2's in multiplication.
In reading students learned about choosing topics for a report that don't have too much information. This was an inductory concept and was rather difficult. For example, choosing "mammals" as a report topic would have way too much information for a short report, but choosing "blue whales" would be perfect because there would be just the right amount of information.
In science students used big syringes that had plungers with an attached tube so they could push air in and out of the syringe. No worries... only tubes were attached to the syringes.;) Students attached two syringes with one tube and then they experimented to see what happens when they pulled on one plunger. they found out that the other plunger was pulled in the opposite direction.
In social studies we worked in "Our Community" book, unit 1, "Living in a Community".
