 Hello Families,

We had a great Ugly Holiday Sweater Day! We had some hilarious sweaters and even created some ugly holiday sweaters as well. 

                                      

Today we did our first TED ED as a class. There was so many rich mathematical conversations. This is a great activity to do as a small group or individually. Below is the link if you would like to try it out with us! Make sure you have paper and a writing utensil ready! 

Zombie Problem

We finished up a Borax Crystal Lab. Thank you all for your glass jar donations. For this we talked about different states of matter , how they change states, and how particles act when they are heated or cooled.

 

As of yesterday, we have raised $75.25 to donate to #TEAMSEAS. We will be heading to the bottle depot for our final time this evening. Thank you all for your refundable donations over the past month.

Tomorrow is PJ Day!

 Hello Families,

We have a super week in Room 16!

The bread and butter making was a huge success! We learnt so much about chemical and physical changes and found out they both can be VERY tasty. It was a big hit!

We have started working on our recyclers and chemistry concept comic strips. They are turning out very well! There are a lot of great plans to share what we know about chemistry and recycling. We worked together today on creating success criteria and a rubric for our comics. 

In math, we are working on representing our unknown number with a variable, then taking what we know and applying it to solve the problem. We have worked on representing this with both word problems and equations. 

Important Dates:

December 13-16 - Grade 4/5 Refundable Drive

December 16 - Ugly Sweater Day 

December 17 - PJ Day

 Hello Families,

In science we have been doing chemistry. We have done an experiment to that tested the solubility of different materials. You can ask us about the solubility of materials around the house and the difference is between soluble and insoluble.

In writing, we have been learning about comic strip elements. We are very excited about making our own comic strips we have also been working on creating characters out of simple shapes. 

We have created Kindness Bingo, where students can add their acts of kindness to fill up our bingo sheet. 

We are still in need of a few more mason jars. If you have any to send that would be amazing!!!

Tea Thursday and Glass Jars

Hi Families,

I will be renewing my First Aid and CPR on Friday and will have a a guest teacher here on Friday. With that being said, Tea Friday will be moved to Tea Thursday this week, so I will be here.

In addition, we have started our chemistry unit and need clear glass jars for an experiment coming up. If you can send in any clear glass jars, medium - large in size that would be much appreciate it. 

Thank you!
