This week in science we continued to explore the essential question  What are the three types of heat transfer? I brought in popcorn and used three different heat transfer methods to cook it for the class.  They enjoyed the popcorn while drawing and discussing the methods of heat transfer in their groups.  We also watched a video and used a website to add to the notes.  Ask your child to see pages 19-24 of their cognitive notebook.

In math we continued to work on our number sustained learning over time unit looking at finding GCF thru prime factorization.  Then using the GCF to simplify fractions.  We also used our new book to round decimals, look for patterns, read graphs, and organize information.

The grade book for the first marking period has closed,  and I have posted grades.
