In Daily 5, we launched word work. This activity provides "students an opportunity to experiment with spelling patterns, memorize high-frequency words, and develop a genuine curiosity for and interest in new and unique words. By playing with words, word patterns, word families, prefixes, suffixes, and so on, students hone their knowledge of words and increase their speaking and writing skills." (Daily 5 website)
In Math, we began solving simple word problems that involved both addition and subtraction to 20.
Science brought yet another experiment! Today we did two trials to determine the number of water drops a penny could hold. Students learned that this experiment was made possibly due to the surface tension of water. I challenged them to go home and attempt to create a water dome in a small cup. Have fun with this one, it's a blast!
