Busy Day!

Today in Science, we continued talking about the earth and today we focused on Plate Tectonics and learned about the 3 kinds of boundaries; transform, convergent, and divergent and how each one is different as they create volcanoes, earthquakes, mountains, and trenches. Ask them about the San Andreas Fault in California and what kind of boundary it is and what is slowly happening to Los Angeles. If they can tell you, write boundary in the planner.
In Math today, we compared mixed numbers. This concept was quite easy and fun for them. What we have left to do with fractions is adding & subtracting them which we will start next week. Tomorrow will be a review-quiz day.
Today in Morning Meeting, we focused on "feelings" which they write about these everyday. But today we dug deeper and talked about what Rusty says every morning-feelings-they come and they go. We compared ourselves to a robot and how they don't have feelings and instead of a brain, they have a computer chip and instead of a heart they have batteries. We also talked about how you can have many feelings in a day and that is ok and it is important to have more than one feeling. We compared it to having a pizza with just the crust and not being able to put anything on it. How boring that is-just like how boring it would be to walk around everyday, all day being happy or mad. The importance of this is to realize that feelings are important.
