Tuesday, November 19
Today in Math we worked on using patterns to solve problems, and practiced creating tables to represent and extend patterns.
In Science we finished up our Wetland title pages and started exploring what we already think we know about Classroom Chemistry by creating mind maps in groups. Then Mr. Risdon led a really cool elephant toothpaste demonstration and discussed how a new compound can be made through a chemical reaction. Finally, each group came up with a big question that they hope will be answered over the course of this unit.
We also read more of The Boundless today, as well as having a solid period of time to catch up on unfinished assignments or to quiet read.
