The days keep zipping by me! I can't believe how fast they go.

This morning, we spent time in the Lykes Center, going over where everyone will stand on the risers. When we came back, we reviewed the Caught Ya, had snack and Spanish class.

During math, we reviewed symmetry. You can see an instructional video here and here. Try sorting symmetrical figures here, too. After this review, we tried to guess what a snowflake would look like, just by seeing what one section of the pattern was. If you try page 1 of this document, before you try page 2, you can try to anticipate what the snowflake will look like before you cut it out.

This webpage was lots of fun to try! Click the image below



We also shared a glog or two and will share more tomorrow.

This afternoon, we reviewed the rubric for the Quadrarama. That was the assigned seatwork for the day. In small groups, we continued to develop our stories on the animals with surprising powers.


Before we headed to music rehearsal, we discussed out next science experiment. I placed three lima beans in a paper cup and covered them with plaster. After the plaster hardened, I peeled off the cup and set the "plaster disk" on a tray lined with water. Do you think the lima bean will sprout? I'm not so sure it will...after all, there is only water and plaster surrounding it. Will the water even get through the plaster to the beans? Tomorrow morning we'll make predictions and see what happens over the course of the week.

We hope you are feeling better and will be able to return to school tomorrow!
