120- The students are going to investigate solids and liquids on surfaces. As Mrs. Wagner explains this, R predicts, "I think the school is going to blow up [when the solids and liquids meet!]" This is a joke, as he giggles, but it shows that he has an understanding of chemistry safety. He then tells me that he is a scientist working in a lab.
The first solid is flour.
Me- What do you think this is?
G- It's for cupcakes.
Me- What will happen when the water goes on the paper?
N- It will get wet.
Me- What about the solid?
N- It will turn it white.
G- It will go away.
They put the flour and water on the paper. G rubs it in.
G-See? It goes away.
Me- Do you think it goes all the way away?
G- I can still see some of it.
She lifts the paper to see if it goes through.
G- I think it disappears, but I dont know how.
I had a meeting to discuss a possible collaboration between the Burchfield Penney Art Center and BPS #33, so I missed seeing 116 and 108 today.
112- The students continued their study of ocean animals by creating the animals out of clay. They learned more about slip & scoring and their attention to detail was so much better after drawing these animals in draft after draft in their classroom.
103- The class continued to work on their murals.
104- This class had an exciting discussion about hibernation using their classroom turtle as provocation. Mrs. Christie provided a huge box if the students were interested in making a bear cave. We looked at photos of real bear caves and the students chose a shade of brown paint and began painting the cave. We will continue this exploration by having the students research and draw habits and I'll introduce cave paintings, so we hope to add the drawings to the cave.
