Migration was our subject today. They voted on animals they wanted to learn more about. Then we read parts of “Migration: Incredible Animal Journeys” by Mike Unwin. After each excerpt we read, we acted out how those animals migrate, traveling
Science/Math: Number Patterns
Today we were hunting for patterns! Attached is a blank sheet that students worked on today plus a picture of my “starter” (which I actually did NOT give them to start with!) This is actually super fun with all ages,
Science/Math: Symmetry
This week we read and talked about symmetry. They were all familiar with the concept and had interesting thoughts to share. I had a really cool self portrait activity planned and then forgot the most important material at home! Darn!
Math/Science: Recreating Builds
Today we did a write it/do it activity inspired by Science Olympiad… The Neutrons split into two groups. Each group had 15 – 20 minutes to examine a “build” and to create instructions to help the other group recreate the
Math/Science: Being Misunderstood
Today we learned what it’s like to be misunderstood and that “fail” can be an acronym rather than a verb. 🙃 Students took turns giving instructions to their classmates on how to draw a simple line drawing that the drawers could
Science/Math: Senses & Oobleck
Today we went on a short little hike to experience fall with 4 of our senses- sight, sound, touch and smell… no tasting today 🙂 They were a wild bunch of animals on the hike but came up with very
Science/Math: Classification
This week, students were given a bag of random things that included a potato, balloons, a highlighter, a canning jar ring, a pipette, some beans, a pipe cleaner, a sugar packet… just lots of random things! Each groups bag was
Science/Math: Rosie Revere Engineer
This week we capped off our three week Questioneers series with Rosie Revere Engineer (previous weeks were based on Ada Twist Scientist and Iggy Peck Architect) We then used recyclables to do our own building/inventing – a bridge with train
Science/Math: Weaving Wonders
This week we learned about spiders. We started with the book Weaving Wonders: Spiders in Your Backyard by Nancy Loewen. We explored some ways that spiders typically make webs with a shape matching game. Then each kiddo experienced life as a spider
