Highlights

In Science, we talked about different kinds of liquids.  Students then experimented using an eye dropper, wax paper and water to see what they could discover.

In Math we are starting to work on strategies to help us add numbers quickly.  So far we have talked about:

-Add 1 or 2 to a number.  Start at the larger number and count 1 or 2 more.  For example, 2+9=    You start at 9 and count 2 more (10, 11)

-Adding zero to a number (the number doesn’t change)  6+0=6

-Turn around facts.  If I know 8+2=10, then 2+8=10

Ask me about:

Is the answer to 2+7 the same as 7+2?  Why?

What shape was the water drop on the wax paper?  What happens if you keep adding drops to the same spot?  What happens when two drops are placed very close together?  Did anything surprise you?
