Happy Friday!

We have had a good week in science this week.  5th graders are observing two monarch larva that were given to me.  We are watching them eat and grow.  Today they are 7 mm long.   5th graders are also learning that when looking at data, scientists can come to different conclusions.  Their D&T hypothesis are looking good.  If they are not finished it need to be turned in on Monday.  I will be displaying the pictures of their hypothesis outside the classroom.  Stop by and take a look.

6th Graders have focused on understanding how to read a ruler.  We are focusing on the millimeter and centimeter.  This will lead to a future unit on volume and density.  They also should be finishing their Ornithologist article.  This is a project that will be turned into Language Arts and Science.  Science for content and Writing for editing and proofreading requirements.
