Today Discovery Gateway came to teach some great science through way cool experiments. I was so proud of this 5th grade class. They knew the answer to every answer the scientist posed. When it came time to do the lab as a class, the Courageous Climbers were so well behaved and industrious that the scientist made a special batch of insulation foam (an amazing example of chemical change) just for our class. We still need to name it and decorate it...maybe Friday after our field trip. I'm so proud of these kids though. Way to go!
We started learning about combinations today. Tomorrow it'll be probability (spinners and dice!) I began a project with students as we become experts on line graphs...it's in conjunction with some very cute puppies I know. They can get their data on halopups.com and also view the puppycam live. Enjoy it! (They belong to my brother.)
That's all for now. I sure enjoy this class. We are working so hard and I know these next few weeks are going to absolutely fly by!
Love, Mrs Cardinal
