Linking up today with Mrs. Laffin's Laughings, a fellow Wisconsin blogger. Didn't finish my reflection sheets my fellow teachers...I was enjoying the heat wave here. The winter votex is coming back to our neck of the woods this week. That means indoor recess AGAIN. Poor kiddos. They have suffered over two weeks of indoor recess in the last month already, but the train must move on.
The end of the quarter came and went, but the FOSS train keeps chugging along... chuga, chuga...
Our kinders are at the beginning of their weather unit. First lesson....the sun...then the night sky...now the weather. The kindergarten teachers and I have come up with one I can statement a week for our kiddo to show us. This week: I can draw my favorite type of weather and graph it.
The first graders are starting their balance and motion unit by learning the key concepts. We will create a chart to show what we know with our new vocabulary. The kids love make and takes, so they will color a balancing parrot to take home. Balancing Parrot Pattern...
Second graders are still working on solids and liquids. We are working on the messy one... solids in containers. You know the one... lima beans, rice, pinto beans... all over. I am going to make a science notebook sheet to share for reflection. I will post this week for you.
Our third grade kiddos are going to be doing two water and ice lessons this week in FOSS...water as ice and hot and cold water. I am working on a quick sheet for reflection for their ticket out the door. Stay tuned...
Fourth graders are in their human body unit and my post before this shows just what I am doing. Same goes for the bigs in 5th grade. Mixtures and Solutions continued... Happy Sunday. Have a great week.
I really wish my school used FOSS for science. I used it when I student taught in another district and really liked it.
ReplyDeleteStay warm & have a great week. You can keep that polar vortex up north if you don't mind. We've had enough down here!
Thanks for linking up!
