Language Arts
We worked in small groups on a variety of skills today. We practiced adding endings to verbs, we wrote about a job we could have, we read independently and in small groups with a teacher. We also worked on helping verbs and main verbs and practiced our handwriting: a,d,g, and o. We also met with our 1st grade reading buddies.
Math
We worked on graphs today. We introduced circle graphs. We practiced double digit multiplication, prime and composite numbers, finding missing numbers in a sequence, and drawing circles with a specific radius. Our studylink is 5.9
Science
Today we tried to make our electromagnets stronger. We found out that having more coils around a core is one strategy. Another strategy is to make sure that the coils are tight. We added another d-cell and that worked too. We also tried thicker wire and that also worked. Tomorrow we are going to use the discoveries that we made about electromagnets to help us build a piece of technology that will help us communicate. What could it be?
