Class Blogger of the Week: MW

On Monday we had the book fair. In Math, we are learning about bar graphs and pictographs. In reading we are learning about what a word means, and looking around that word for clues of the word we were trying to find. On Tuesday, we  were still learning about bar graphs, but adding on to pictographs. On Wednesday, we were still doing pictographs and bar graphs. It was also “hump day”. We got a passage about George Washington. In that passage we had to find out what regarded, evolve and convention means. It was hard to find the clues. We worked with our tables to find the clue and definition. For homework we are read China Ancient Journal day 1,2,3 and more. On Thursday at dismissal we were playing hangman. On Friday at the end of the day we listened to a song and pretended to do hurdles. It was fun. Right now we are reading Natalie Babbitt (Search for Delicious).

Measuring Volume is Sweet Success

Measuring volume was never this tasty!  Today the class worked with milliliters to create a measuring cup that will later hold a strawberry banana smoothie.

First we learned how to use measuring cups. To create our own measuring cups, we poured 100 mL of water into our empty cups and marked the water level on the outside of the cup.  Then we poured another 100 mL of water into the cup and labeled that as 200 mL. We repeated this a third time and discovered that are cups could hold 300 mL.

When we were done creating our measurement tool, we moved on to smoothie making.

Fresh bananas, frozen strawberries, agave, and milk went in the blender to make a tasty treat (this was the rice milk batch).

A few moments of whirling and blending and you have one sweet Math lesson!  I don't think the class minded working with volume this afternoon after our first morning of the ELA test.

Cheers!
