Learning Today

Well, this was from yesterday but it is still interesting.

We went and learned about clouds from Miss Olson.  We made these Cloud books.  We still need to finish them.  Look for them to come home next week.

Today we did some research with Ms. Z in the library.  We learned about The Golden Gate Bridge.  We learned about citing our work and writing notes in our own words, not copying.  Everyone did a great job taking notes and working together.

Today's math was quite something!  It was a new way to add two digit numbers.  We worked and worked on it.  The idea is to break one of the addends into two parts and one of those parts will be used to make a ten with the other addend.  I gave students the option of taking home the homework.   We will be working on it again tomorrow.

Two ways to add!

Today for Science we got to learn about how air can be used to move things.  We  did balloon rockets with Ms. Kath.  Ask your child about this experiment!
