We have spent the week doing experiments with magnets during our science time. Students created their own magnets, learned about different things we can do with magnets, talked about magnets in our every day lives, and experimented with different sized magnets to see if size indicates how strong a magnet is. We will continue to learn about why magnets attract and repel and will also experiment with magnetic fields.
We have continued to sort shapes and play games with shapes during math this week. We have also been talking about parallel lines and intersecting lines. Today we used a variety of geometric shapes to find different ways to cover shapes. This week's homework packet includes a similar activity as an optional dessert activity.
Ms. Wideman was in this week to teach us about friendship and problem solving. She will be joining our class every Thursday for the next 8 weeks to continue this unit about friendship. We talked about what a good friend looks like and sounds like and we are practicing these skills throughout our school day.
Tia's mom joined us today to share about Tia for her birthday. We saw pictures of Tia as a baby and talked about her family heritage. We learned that Tia's dad is from Greece and Tia will be taking a trip to Greece in second grade. She also shared cupcakes and some special Greek food, grape leaves. A big thank you to Tia and her mom for sharing with us today.
