A Busy Day!

Today was a very busy day. We began with PE and foreign language. Then we worked on using our writing checklist to help us edit our work. We edited a descriptive paragraph that Mrs. Bushman wrote about the tropical picture linked to our blog. Math was spent working on rounding, fractions and money. In science, we began our experiments to test the absorbency and wet strength of four different brands of paper towels. Mr. Evans gave us a graphic organizer to help get ready for our history test later this week. We also worked on creating note cards to help us study. A busy day to begin a busy week!

Spectacular Science

What do paper airplanes, the solar system, and writing checklists have in common? They were all things we worked with today. In computer class, we used the Science Explorations website to cut and paste information about the solar system into a word document. We had to leave PE early to have our yearbook pictures taken. In math, we worked on comparing and also rounding larger numbers. Our experiment in science class let us do something our teachers never let us do in school, make paper airplanes. We experimented to see if attaching a paper clip to the front of the planes would allow them to fly farther. The day ended with a discussion about our writing checklist. Signed: The Class
