The Week Of 9/7/2014

 Last week was super fun! We were studying decimeters. 1 decimeter= 10 centimeters, and since 100 centimeters= 1 meter, 1 decimeter is 1/10 of a meter!

We also studied the water cycle. We built a model by first shaping dirt in a tub, then putting in hot water to form a lake. Before that evaporated we put plastic wrap on the tub and used a rubber band to seal in the water vapor. Then we put an ice pack over the land and waited.

Don't forget area! We did area too! So if you had a wooden platform that was 4 feet on one side and 3 feet on the other, what was the total area? Read on to find out!

Do you have some funny memories about, say, that time you set your neighbor's lawn on fire? Well, here in Ms. Brown's class, we are writing about those memories! Not to say that all of you have set lawns on fire... another fun writing activity (not ack-tivity, they're safe) is C.A.T., although it won't curl up in your lap and purr. It actually means character, action, thing. The C.A.T. that we selected was a puppy, playing soccer, and a rocket ship. The product? Astro dog!
(by the way, 4x3=12. Did you guess that?)

we zoomed past this week so quickly I sure had a lot of fun! I love the reading choices here! Really juicy...

Well, that's all for now. Bye!
