We had a great day yesterday on our field trip. No rain was going to stop us from enjoying the day! (and I knew the kids would enjoy the bus ride and being out in the rain 🙂 ) Thank you to all parent chaperones. I hope you enjoyed the time with your child. Now you can go back during the summer and enjoy some of the rides, the singing entertainment 🙂 and some ice cream at a more leisurely pace. Thank you again.
I also wanted to mention our Science time last Tuesday. Since we are talking about Living vs Non-Living Things, Mrs. Anderson (Jason’s mom) brought in 6 toads that reside in her window well. The students began with going through our steps regarding Science Experiments/Observations.
ASK QUESTIONS- They drafted a list of 14 questions. They had more questions but I wanted to get on with looking at the toads. 🙂
MAKE AN HYPOTHESIS-They made their predictions with a buddy. “I think…”
CONDUCT OUR EXPERIMENT-We set up tables, magnifying glasses, and scales for weighing the toads. We put on our lab coats too.
MAKE OBSERVATIONS-This is where the excitement began! I’ll share some pictures. I didn’t get every student’s picture…sorry!
DRAW CONCLUSIONS-Out of the 14 questions, they were able to answer 12 of the questions…and ALL BY OBSERVING! I wanted them to realize what they can learn just by observing things.
They had a wonderful time with the toads. Thank you to Mrs. Anderson!!
