During literacy, this week students have been using their 5 senses to discover the signs of spring. Students learned about acrostic poems, making smaller words from a bigger word (Springtime), and many writing tasks.
Students were introduced to estimation this week. They learned how to make an "estimation", that's a guess close enough to the true sum. Students looked at various items in various bags, containers or jars and recorded their estimated the amount and the actual sum. Students were surprised that some items seemed to look less but had the sum of 85 or 100.
Inquiry this week, students had two paper airplane challenges. Students had to build two paper airplanes and tested them to see which one flew the farthest and why? They discussed what worked?, what did not work?, and how they could improve their paper airplanes.
