Quote of the day:
The students continued to work on their math review for the upcoming unit test on Tuesday, October 23. They reviewed concepts such as compensation, adding on, multiplying and dividing numbers. The students then worked on adding, subtracting, multiplying and estimating quotients which they will need to take home and complete for the weekend. Remember to... SHOW YOUR WORK!

We reviewed the Scientific Method together again today with its six processes: Question, Hypothesis, Materials/Procedure, Observation, Results and Conclusion. After reviewing it together, the students were formed into small groups and we conducted an experiment together as a class on vibrations. The experiment was titled Rubber Band Guitar where the students have to observe when they pluck the rubber band strings on the tissue box. The students were scaffolded with what to think about and for each process, students were given the appropriate words to use when starting their sentences. A couple of questions that students needed to think about while conducting the experiment were: What did the rubber do when you plucked it? Did you feel movements(vibrations) in your other hand (the hand holding the box?
