Today we had our pjs and movie day!  It was a lot of fun.

This week....
Shared Reading- We are talking about nonfiction features.  Today we learned about photographs.  We read part of a book called Animal Look Alikes.  We realized just how important photographs are to helping us learn new information.  Tomorrow we are going to learn about captions.

Writing- We started nonfiction writing this week.  We are beginning this unit with several science experiments involving matter.  We know that matter is all around us.  It can be in the form of a solid, liquid, or gas.  Our first experiment had two parts.  We mixed a liquid (water) with a solid (baking soda).  We also mixed another liquid (vinegar) with a solid (baking soda).  We are using the scientific method to write out our lab reports.  So far we have written out our question, hypothesis, materials, and procedures.  Tomorrow we will record our results and come up with a conclusion.  We are trying to figure out if we saw chemical changes or physical changes.

Math- We took a Geometry pre-test!  Tomorrow we will begin learning about 3-D shapes.
