Wow! I need to catch up!

We have been working so hard I haven't even had time to post things on the blog.  The Apes have studied the three states of matter, how matter can change, mixtures and solutions and then there has been math too!  We are moving right along with our division using real world problems or story problems, multiple strategies and even a card game called "Division Compare"!  I have a bunch of pictures to catch you up!

I sent another PTA envelope home today for anyone who has not joined yet!  It is $5 to support a great group who works nonstop for our class and our school.  You are not required to volunteer if you join but your dues help fund projects for our students throughout the year! Please consider joining and help our class get 100% participation!

L and J working on a presentation about matter.

Tiyah checking her facts before she presents her topic!

K and H discussed what should be included on a graphic organizer about chemical changes.

Division Compare is a great way to practice division problems. 

Some of us love division, as you can see!

J and K working hard to check their work and see who won the point!

Do I see laughter during science?  It is fun!

How would you separate a mixture of sand, salt and iron?

We learned to think about the properties of each piece of the mixture.  Such as iron being attracted to a magnet.

Why is she messing up her hair?

It must be the new thing?

Salt is attracted to the static electricity...that is what they were all doing!

Awesome Abbey, that is dedication to your science work!

How does stirring help the dissolving process?

We tried it and had a control group to compare our results.

I still see the salt in cup B and no salt in cup A.  Great job!

We even work as a group to play multiplication review games!

Or we play one on one!

We have Abbey vs. Abbey in the Product Game!
