Hi parents,
We had a great day today. In the morning the students did a fantastic job writing about our trip to Ann and Sandy Cross. It was a typical 'personal response' writing task with a catch - every sentence had to begin differently! The students worked silently for a half hour without any reminders at all, and got a ton of work done. With report cards around the corner, this is the time of year for them to start bringing their A-games.
We did Daily LA, and a quick science lesson on the hardness of different rocks and minerals. We learned how the Mohs Scale is used to rank substances by hardness. We watched the video below, and use pieces of talc to scratch a variety of rocks.
In the afternoon, we played kickball, had Music, and then half the class worked with our buddies in a 'fraction bingo' game, while the rest of the class worked on a life cycle project.
Tomorrow is unofficially "Rock Day" - we'll be doing lots of activities around rocks and minerals. Should be a good one!
Have a nice night,
Zac
