Mystery Reader #1

Say HELLO to our first Mystery Reader!!

We heard a loud KNOCK on the door. When we opened it, we found Ms. Constas! Christopher's mom! Take a look at how interested we all were!

We listened carefully as Ms. Constas read us a book and helped Santa make and pack the toys he takes to kids around the world. 

Thank you for coming in! We had fun!

Clementine Day 17

Even though we decided to check on Day 30...one of the friends in our class discovered a big change!

On day 17, this is what we found. We passed it around, looked at it and smelled a strong stinky smell.

Our friends noticed a lot of grey, white and green on it. It was decided that "we can't eat it because it has been a long time." That means, when our food starts to look like that we shouldn't eat it! 

Measurement

In the last 2 weeks we have been exploring MEASUREMENT!

This week we explored scales. Our class read the book Balancing Act to get an idea of what a see-saw or teeter totter looked like. We then explored how to make our own. We had some trials and mistrials and then we looked at it as a class. What worked? What didn't? How do we get the tray to balance? What would happen if I put a bear counter on one side? How do I get it to balance again?

Each group was given: a tube, sticky tack, and a tray of some sort.

We then explored with real balances. Let's see what we find next week! 

Last week's word of the week was: at

We have been learning all the different at words! We came up with:
cat
mat
hat
rat
fat
sat
flat

This week's word was: am

Some am words we thought of were:
jam
Sam
Cam
ham

Inquiry Update!

We have checked on our clementine and this is what it looks like now!

Day 10

Day 12

We have decided to check on our clementine on Day 30! 

The Clementine Experiment

Inquiry Update:

We found seeds inside our mystery object after we figured out how to break it open. We began to make some comparisons between the seeds inside this squash to the inside of the pumpkin we opened in October. 

These seeds are dry. The pumpkin in October was slippery, cold, slimy and wet. 

What will happen to this clementine if we leave it for 10 days? Our class is observing. Here is what we noticed:

It is squishy.

It is soft.

It looks like a bouncy ball.

It looks like an orange.

It's orange.

Here are our predictions: 

It will get brown and it will be bigger.

It is gonna be old.

It's going to be red.

It's gonna be like a pumpkin.

Day 1

Day 4

On Day 4 we made some more predictions and observations:

It is a little brown.

I see brown dots.

There's 2 colours.

There is no green dot (the stem is gone). 

It is more squishy.
