The Daily Five
Also, we were introduced to SCHEMA! Schema is everything you already know. It is your life experiences and memories bottled up in your head. We use these thoughts and ideas every time we read! This week, we learned how important our schema is and that every person has different schema and interacts with a story differently! Next week, we will use our schema to help us make meaningful connections to the stories we read.
Comparing and Measuring
This week, we took our first trip to the Science lab! Our first science unit is comparing and measuring. After thinking about making observations and comparing things and why scientists do those things, we were able to start measuring. We were able to lay on the floor and measure each other using adding machine tape. We wanted to compare our heights in the class. We take an inquiry approach to learning science as we perform tasks and ask questions as we go. In the lab, we came across the problem of not sharing a common starting and ending point when we measured our bodies. This led us to not be able to compare our results!
