This morning, we read a story written by a student and scored it using the Word Choice rubric found here. It was the first time we scored a story using the rubric...what score do you think it deserves?
Afterward, we practiced handwriting (shocker, I know)...the letter f!
We reviewed multiplication with a timed test (YIKES) and took a quiz on fractions. You can make that up when you return.
This afternoon, I reviewed Solids, Liquids, and Gases and introduced Conduction. See the power point below. There are hyperlinks embedded in the Slide Show, including a video, so be sure to let your mouse hover over the images to check for links. Slide 5 and Slide 6 will take you to a menu of cartoons. Choose cartoon numbers 4 and 8.

After viewing the presentation, we started a simple experiment: What Container Will Water Evaporate Fastest From? I poured 60 mL of water into four containers: a graduated cylinder, a cup, a saucer, and a plate. They were all set under the window...so that the warm sun can help turn that water into a gas. Which container do you think will evaporate the quickest?
Mrs. Hillmer also took our class on a surprise trip to the computer lab to visit some online art sites. They had lots of fun!
Lastly, we read in our Dahl books (Matilda pages 90-116) and completed a set of comprehension questions about the book. I'll send those home to you today.
We worked here and there on our Mother's Day stories, too. We will do that more intently tomorrow.
Hope you will be feeling 100% better tomorrow so that you may join us!
