Science Night

It sounds like the PTA Science Night was a great success and that all those that went enjoyed and learned some fun, new Science concepts.  Speaking of science, students set up an open/closed circuit in groups and then tested items in their groups to see which were conductors and which were insulators.  Ask them what they concluded from these tests.  If they can tell you which items insulated and which conducted, write circuit in the planner.
In Math today, students were busy finding range, median, mode, and the mean (average) of data.  Great practice for addition & division.
Also, today we shared the symmetry drawings that were done on Friday.  They were given half of a magazine picture and they had to draw the symmetric half.  As you can see by the pictures, they did a great job.
Tomorrow we will be making robots using measurement, area, and perimeter.  This will take us to the end of our geometry unit and then we will begin fractions.
Please return your January reading calendars.  February went home today.
Have a great night.
