Wednesday

FYI:
In your child's Wed. folder (my Homeroom) please check to see if your child received a Praise Note for being good for Miss Rickard during her day of teaching today!

Good afternoon, I had a great day with the kids today!

Science- We are continuing our unit on the states of matter. Today we discussed how matter changes states. We did a demonstration with frozen orange juice and watched it turn from solid to liquid by adding heat/ warm water to it. We then put it into the freezer to see how liquids change to solids and were going to taste the frozen treat this afternoon, but it's still a liquid, so tomorrow we will try it!
No homework


Reading- Our reading was shortened today because of conservation. The kids learned about different insects and really enjoyed it! We did get some reading in, as we read the myth The Odyssey and talked about allusions of myths today. We also listened to Tim Tebow read Green Eggs and Ham! Scholastic was offering a special day to watch him read and we discussed why he would be a great role model to choose to read a book!
No homework


Math- We worked on equivalent fractions in math today. The kids are learning to pull out fractions from word problems and compare them.
HW- A word problem is coming home with an example attached. Please sign the sheet and make sure your child shows their work!


Writing- The kids are continuing to write their myths they started on Monday. Today we focused on what makes a hero.
No homework

Have a wonderful evening!
