High flow stream with incline. Ask your student how this model compared with the other two we studied. Also, did water change as it interacted with the land? If so, how did it change in each of the three models? In which model did water carry the biggest/heaviest particles?
Science
- Did two other experiements
- One we looked at the absorbancy of different types of soil. Ask your student which was most/least absorbant.
- 2nd experiment we looked at whether sprinkling a liter of water over a landscape model (like rain) would have an impact on the landscape and whether the water would change after interacting with the land
Math - Learned about/practiced doing extended multiplication facts
- ie 60 * 40
- Do 6 * 4 = 24, then add the two 0s from the factors --> 2,400
- Took Unit 4 Open Response
Writing - Everyone revised/edited their personal narratives, had revising/editing conferences with Mr. Herzberg
- Finished clean copies of stories
- Typing up stories over the weekend
- Students will insert .jpg scanned image of their illustration in their typed piece early this next week
- Pieces will be published online on our blog!
Reading - Students read and became experts on a specific type of erosion
- Mrs. Otley (our principal) came to read a story to us--ask your child what the theme was, and the lesson of the story
- Miss Jane (our counselor) finished part 2 of her point of view lesson with the class & related point of view to the work we do as writers--ask your student about this connection
