Lots going on in Room 5, right now! We are continuing our study of matter by examining phase changes. How and why does ice melt? What makes water evaporate? What are some changes reversible and others aren't? By observing and exploring various interactions and changes over the coming week, we will come to some new understanding about the physical properties and forces at work.
Our students have also been learning about how to use the classroom computers and are now really smart about logging in, creating new documents and using teacher feedback. We have a really great tool called Hapara, which allows me to view student work in progress and interact with them while they use the computer. Coming up next is how to locate information on the internet in way that makes sense.
This Friday, 10/17, we will go on our first field trip, to the Children's Theater production of "Sherlock Holmes." Students will eat their lunches a little early so we can board the bus at 11. We will return well before dismissal with some time to reflect on the trip and the play.
