Boundary Breaker: What does a scientist do?
We used the books My Teacher Likes to Say by Denise Brennen-Nelson and There's a Frog in my Throat by Loreen Leedy & Pat Street to introduce idioms. Students had a good time pointing them out in conversations throughout the day. We also used the lesson to help us solve some picture plexers from our brain stretcher packet.
Next students worked hard on their chapter 1 or 2 check-up from our place value and base 3 math practice.
We also spent time sharing our museum artifacts and looking at the Inventions and Inventors project that students will have the opportunity to work on over our upcoming break.
We finished by introducing part 2 of our exploration unit, Exploring through Problem Solving. We began by looking at the scientific method as a problem solving tool. Today we went through the steps and conducted a class test to see how many random numbers a second or third grader could hold in their brain without forgetting. Check out our format here. Five was the lucky number that discredited all of our confident hypotheses.
