Happy New Year!

Happy New Year and welcome  back! A new year means new goals and these kids were rocking it today!  This week, 4th and 5th grade students are taking part in The Paper Chain Challenge 

  
 
After discussing some important vocabulary–mean, mode, and median–Students worked in random pairs to create their chains.  It was interesting to hear and see their thought process.

   
   Tune in next week! Students will measure their chains and create a line plot using the class data.  Students will also determine the mode, median, and mean using the collected data.

  
Our first grade students are wacky about weather! Today we learned that one tool scientists use to measure temperature is a thermometer!  Students practiced reading their thermometers using different temperatures of water.  It was fun to see the thermometer go up so quickly in the hot water!
