This week we will be presenting our projects on Matter to the 2nd and 3rd graders. We have rehearsed and the students have prepared some really neat demonstrations. We will end it with some homemade root beer, a solution because sugar and dry ice are dissolved in water. We will have a vocabulary quiz on our project words on Wednesday.
We are working on reviewing some language standards in Writing, parts of speech like prepositions, conjunctions, interjections, then moving into verbs and verb tenses. In Reading we are preparing to read a biography of Levi Strauss. We will be focusing on content vocabulary and creating an informal outline of facts as we read, as well as the overall structure of the text. For this book, each student will need a pair of denim jeans that he or she can cut up. Any size is fine, if you have a spare pair, please send them in.
Coming soon: Oasis Family Math Night - lots of fun learning!
