Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁

We had a fun day before Thanksgiving Break. Check your child’s Seesaw account for a thankful turkey they made. We also had a dramatic reading of Robbie and the Thanksgiving Spirit (a Christmas Carol Thanksgiving style). Finally we had an all school assembly honoring Grandpa Steve and all of the wonderful things he does for our school. 

Does McDonald’s Serve CheeseBurgers Rapidly? 🍔➗

We are using the phrase “Does McDonald’s Serve CheeseBurgers Rapidly?” To help us remember the steps for long division. Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Compare, Bring down, Remainder/Repeat.

It is starting to click!  Keep practicing those basic math facts. 

Candy Coated Rock Cycle 🌋🍬

Today we reviewed the Rock Cycle by using Starburst candy to help model it. First we broke up the candy into “sediments”. Then the sediments came together to form a sedimentary rock. We then applied heat and pressure to make a metamorphic rock. Finally we melted the metamorphic to “magma” which cooled into an igneous rock. It was a fun way to practice the cycle!

Weather Disasters 🌊🌋

Today we imagined our school was impacted by a hurricane!  We lost power and had to work with flashlights so we did some research to learn more about hurricanes and how to be prepared. 

In science we did a lesson on the different types of volcanoes. The class had fun analyzing the “lava”.
