September 8 – 12
It was nice to meet with all of you at “Back to School Night”. I believe in having strong communication between us to ensure your child’s success. I think it’s going to be a great year. Here’s what’s been happening in our classroom.
In science, we studied the water phenomenon called surface tension. We conducted an experiment in which we predicted how many drops of water could fit on a penny. After writing our hypothesis, we ran three tests and calculated the mean. Then we recorded the mean of our peers and computed the median, mode, range, and mean of the whole class.
On Friday, we discussed the property of surface tension and watched a video on water conservation.
In social studies, we learned about the cities that make up the “urban corridor”. We located Colorado cities on a blank map and discussed the impact of the urban corridor on people, animals, and the earth.
Our field trip to Dinosaur Ridge is this Thursday. Everyone will need a sack lunch and comfortable shoes.
