This week, we reviewed the letters Hh and Tt.
Our sight words were "can" and "it".
Our close read this week was a National Geographic book, Bats.
Here are the vocabulary words from the story.
We learned so much about bats and many of us have seen the bats from the Congress Avenue bridge. We had lots to share about bats. We made a Venn diagram comparing bats to humans.
We also read a nonfiction book about bats.
This week, we helped set a world record by participating in Jumpstart's read for the record. Children all across the country read this book to help break the record.
In math, we have been counting and comparing numbers. We used unifix cubes to count and make trains. We then compared trains to see which number was bigger and then we counted on to see how much bigger that number was.
In science, we learned all about how heat and cooling can change the states of matter. We had fun with our ice ball experiment. We looked at frozen water balloons and observed the cracks and bubbles frozen inside. We dyed it with food color to help observe these more closely. We also added salt to our ice and learned that salt makes ice melt. We put it in water and observed that the ice floats. We also watched as our ice balloon changed from a solid to a liquid in the water throughout the day.
We observed solids changing into a liquid and then into a gas (water vapor).
We talked about the water cycle and observed how water condenses when gases change back to a liquid, just like precipitation.
We also observed how other things can change from a solid to a liquid when we add heat. We melted butter, chocolate and crayons.
Here are some of the books we read.
Objects change when heat is applied. We did a matching sort to see how the objects looked after we added heat.
We had a lot of fun mixing cake batter and adding heat to make cakes.
It was even more fun to eat them.
