It was a very productive day! In Mrs. McIlvaine's class, we did a lot of writing and revising! We worked on our 'Treasured Items' writing and some of us put the finishing touches on our 'It Happened to Me' writings. Our story, Hot Dogs and Bamboo Shoots, was reviewed in class, too!
A change to our schedule puts McD's Cafe in a new time slot. We will have McD's on Thursday afternoons now! The new schedule will be in effect this week, so reading and roles are due this Thursday, rather than Friday.
We were very busy in Science today. The students observed sedimentary rocks and discovered through an acid test (using lemon juice) if the rocks were limestone, shale, or sandstone. You can see in the pictures that the students used goggles and magnifying glasses to see the reaction.
We are getting ready for the PSSA's in Math class. Although they are awhile off, the more we practice, the better we will get! Together, we did a problem in class and highlighted the key words. The students took an open-ended problem home tonight to practice.
Get a good night's rest tonight...the Terra Novas are tomorrow and Wednesday!
