We had some excitement today in science.  After the break we are starting our Life Science Unit and a friend happened to have some tadpoles to give away so today we examined them and wrote notes in our science journal about what we observed.  Also, we are finishing up our physical science unit with Magnets and observed yesterday items that stuck to the magnet and items that didn’t and then recorded it on chart. Today we held magnets together and observed what happened when we flipped one magnet over. After, student went back and wrote and drew about what they observed. Tomorrow we will read about magnets and write a bit more. Also we have been writing an informational book about penguins and getting close to publishing it, I’m excited to see the final copy.

Don’t forget to send in field trip permission slips and popcorn money by Friday morning.
