The Purple Cow
Today was the last day of our science unit on the 3 states of matter. We did an experiment which involved a solid (ice cream), a liquid and a gas (grape soda). The kids had a great time learning about the 3 states during the first term and were even more excited when they got to taste all three states mixed together.
:) Yummy

Writer's Workshop
Over the last few days we have enjoyed what feels like typical winter weather. It inspired us to talk and write about snow and snowmen (or snow-people). Here you will see what happens in our writer's workshop. First, we brainstorm ideas as a whole class and write down some vocabulary about our topic. After brainstorming some possible sentence starters, we write for 10 minutes. Then, we share our writing with a partner who gives us a star and a wish. A star is something you really like about the writing and a wish is something you wish you knew more about the story. After everyone has had a chance to share, we go back to our desks and write again. We did this a few times over a few days before we started writing our first book of stories. We hope to finish publishing our first book tomorrow.
Here you will see some pictures of students sharing their stories with partners.
