This week we learned about landslides. If you owned a house in a landslide prone town, you'd want some protection. We brainstormed ideas for protecting our house and minimizing the damage of a landslide. Ask us what we came up with! Today is art we explored the properties of oil pastels. We learned at our own pace, tried different methods, and created night sky images in our sketchbooks. We'll use this knowledge moving forward as we embark on a big constellation art/STEM collaboration! Why are land and aquatic animal fossils often found in the same location? We have our theories? What do you think? We love Wednesday afternoon math. We do BIG problems and think outside the box. We work with friends, on the board, and around the room. We love math! Today we turned fraction comparison into a game. It was fun to compare fractions with friends and decide whose card was the greatest. Ask us about the strategies we used! We sure do love Halloween. Happy trick-or-treating! Wish us luck tomorrow! Sometimes you just need a little art project to end the day. On this snowy afternoon, we made some snowflakes. But, these weren't just ordinary snowflakes...they were fraction snowflakes. Ask us what fraction of the snowflake we removed in the cutting process! Will a mountain last forever? Today we attempted to answer that question as we explored rocks over time. We learned about root wedging and ice wedging. Then we had a chance to watch erosion in action with some sugar cubes. It was so much fun! We've been focused on fraction equivalence in this math unit. We've used number lines and multiplication (or division with common factors) to find equivalence. Check out the graphic below to see how we visualize our work.  Today we investigated lava. Did you know that cone volcanos (the exploding kind) and shield volcanos (the gentle kind) have different kinds of lava. Check it out!
