Today in Science, students were thrilled to begin the hands-on experiments that will comprise so much of our Classroom Chemistry unit. After exploring the definition of mixtures and solutions, students started brainstorming different ways to separate mixtures of solids including by hand, with sieves, using water, with magnets, and with wind. Then, in small groups, they were given seven different mixtures to attempt to separate. We will continue with this work on Wednesday.

In Math, we explored a pattern problem related to increasing hexagons, and then continued our work with writing pattern rules with an expression using a variable.

In French, we played Quizlet Live with weather and season vocabulary. Then, in Language Arts, we explored how to write a complete sentence and how to fix run-on sentences.
