| Recognize this activity? Students helped construct a concept map for our electricity study this morning. See below for a close-up. |
 |
| Students tested 20 or so different materials today for conductivity. |
 |
| We couldn't get water or vinegar to conduct electricity, though in theory we should have. Any ideas? Perhaps not enough voltage... |
 |
| Students shared slide shows of the photo booth pictures they took of themselves in the blue, green, yellow, and red zones. |
Read 20 minutes (or all night) and fill out your reading log.
Write for 15 minutes. You may write in any genre, but I ask that you write with a "magnifying glass." That is to say, take a small moment and really blow it up.
Math: Fourth grade click on the Strawberry Blog link at the top of the page.
Fifth graders worked with a challenging new multiplication strategy today called "cluster problems" in which one employs a series of easy multiplication problems to solve a more challenging problem. The strategy is a good one that improves students' abilities to solve problems mentally. For example, how can one use 20 x 10, 22 x 10, and 22 x 2 to help solve 22 x 16? Students can download this week's packet on Monday's blog, and they also must hand in last week's problem of the week tomorrow.
