Skills Learned This Week
Math
This week the students worked on understanding capacity. We talked about capacity and how we can use many different containers to measure capacity. We learned vocabulary terms like empty, full, half full, etc. We discussed measuring in nonstandard and standard units of measure. We read books, practiced predicting and filling containers with beans, and worked in our math books.
Science
This week the students practiced the Scientific Method. We learned the different steps to conducting an experiment and why they are important. We read a funny book about experiments that failed and got some good ideas for experiements. We also conducted an experiment as a class. Our question...How many pennies will it take to sink a foil, Lego, straw, or Popsicle stick boat? We practiced each step of the scientific process.
Social Studies
This week the students worked on using some social studies vocabulary. We talked about past, present and future and related it to our time in kindergarten. We also used positional words. We played charades, drew a picture following positional direction words and made a book!
