A busy January

We have had a very busy month!  We started swimming lessons twice a week, performed in our Winter Performance, conducted a science experiment about melting ice, currently building a rainforest model while researching animals, and kept our math skills up with Math Night.  Below are some highlights of what we are doing!

The next few pictures we experimented with how to make ice melt faster.  We used a control and for variables we added oil, sugar and salt. We observed the changes in our science notebooks.

RH is measuring the room

This activity has sparked great engineering and problem solving. They use wooden planks to create ramps.

Our 3-d Rainforest model in process

Can't see his work in the picture, but IS was decomposing the number 15 by finding a pattern (11+4, 12+3, etc)
