In science we created a control group of pendulums that were all the exact same. We counted the amount of cycles a pendulum swings in 15 seconds with one penny attached. This information was consistent throughout the class- 13 cycles. We continued to keep EVERYTHING in our experiment the same except one thing- the amount of pennies (or mass). As we added pennies we noticed that the amount of cycles did not change in 15 seconds. Thus we concluded that mass does not effect a pendulum. Next up tomorrow- string length!
In math we reviewed divisibility rules and prime and composite again. Tomorrow we dig into squaring and unsquaring numbers.
In writing we brainstormed places and specific moments associated with them. Students did a fantastic job of turning bland sentences into exploding detail sentences!
Finally, in reading we began our first round of guided reading groups. WOW was I impressed. Nearly all students were already pulling page numbers and some were even pulling quotes to prove their answers. Sky is the limit this year!!!
