Just a quick reminder that tonight is Science Night at Old Town Elementary School. It starts at 6 and goes until 7:30. Come have some fun and enjoy all the fun science exhibits!!

Today we put the workshop model into full swing! I really enjoyed being able to have a more personalized math lesson! I hope that the students enjoyed it as much as I did!

In reading, we read The Yellow Star and worked with foreshadowing. We had a chart where we recorded any phrases we thought would be considered foreshadowing and wrote why we thought the phrases were foreshadowing. We also wrote down how the phrase made us feel- interested, anxious, curious, made us wonder what was going to happen next, etc. They caught on really quickly and were pros in no time!!

In science, we finally started our sound kit that they have been so anxiously waiting for! We started the unit by creating a class KWL chart that I will post once the unit is over and the chart is complete! I was shocked at how much they already knew about sound and light and they had some great questions about things they wanted to know! We started an investigation today on light sources (I'll post pictures of them as soon as we are finished!) In the investigation we are including some key vocabulary words, our main source of light(sun), and other sources of light. They are looking good!!

Hope you all have a good night! :)
