Our Day Today!
We have started another Expository Writing on "What We Are Thankful For..." Today we created a circle map together and then used our white boards to share what we are thankful for with our table groups. Throughout the week, we will be planning and coming up with what we are the most thankful for and putting it into writing!
Today we started a small unit over Thanksgiving! We compared the First Thanksgiving with the way we celebrate Thanksgiving today. After reading a book that compared the two events, we worked together to create out own Venn Diagram to show the similarities and differences. After that we used our own Venn Diagram to come up with any other similarities and differences, on our own.
To close out our unit of Matter and Energy, we are studying magnets! Today we spent a lot of time exploring the world of magnetism by experimenting with what types of object attract and what types of objects repel. We explored with given materials first, and then were able to move on to a scavenger hunt through the classroom!
