Math and Light

Happy new year! Here are our highlights from our first week back at school:

We worked on writing both balanced and unbalanced equations in Math. We reviewed the difference between an equal sign and a not equal sign, then we worked in small groups to write a variety of equations and shared our work with the class. We practiced more on our own in our Guided Math duo tangs, which included finding missing numbers (called unknowns or variables) in equations.




Check out the link (or paste it in your browser) to see how we used puppets to make a puppet show for our Light Unit in Science with Mrs. Rogala! We read fairy tales and some of our own stories with a twist, and showed them using our puppets.

Here's some background information, by Nathan and Sara:

Hi, Nathan and Sara here to tell you about shadow puppets and how to make them. First, get a black piece of paper, a pencil, a straw, and some scissors. Now, take your pencil and paper and draw your design. Then, cut out your design with your scissors. Then, get masking tape and the straw and tape it to your shadow puppet. There you have it. There's your shadow puppet! It works because the paper is opaque.
