On Monday we started off with our usual warm ups and skip counting. Then we went on to social studies. We worked on our Indian projects. We got to choose between a poster, a song, a story,
or three stamps. In science we are learning about force. This particular lab had to deal with a toy car, a white board, and three science books. Can you guess what we did? We were measuring distance on different surfaces. We measured how far the car would go on the tile in the science lab, the tile in the hallways, and the carpet in the activity room. The surface that made the car go the farthest was the tile in the science room because it was smooth and had nothing to stop it like cracks. The surface that made the car go the least farthest was the carpet because it had more friction.
Tuesday was packed! In read-aloud we finished our book, The Maze of Bones. We also had our mystery reader Mrs. Petrik who we would like to thank for bringing treats for each class in honor of Simon and Oliver's birthday. In science we made catapults. We measured distance and accuracy. And then of course, we had our recycled car race! The winner for 46 was Caroline, and the winner for 45 and the over all winner was Caitlyn. Great job to everyone who participated! The cars looked awesome!
Happy Holidays,
