Fraction Fun!

We designed colorful flower petals to create fraction word problems.

We had fun solving each other's fraction flower problems and doing math in the hallway!

Some problems that we created include:

What is the fraction of petals that have stars?

What is the fraction of petals that are pink?

What is the fraction of petals that have zig zags?

Airplane Assembly Line

We have been learning that "producers" provide goods or services for "consumers" to buy.

Today, we learned that goods are produced faster in factories when more people work together.

We had our own "assembly lines" to put together a number of paper airplanes quickly and efficiently.

We sure learned that helping each other really made a difference in the time it took to assemble a plane!

Our Trip to the Zoo

We had a great time during our field trip at the zoo!  We saw many different animals and had fun finding animals during our scavenger hunt!

Experimenting with Weight

We observed and recorded the distance an object travels when the amount of weight decreases.  

We had a blast using a rubber band to shoot a plastic egg with beans across the pavement!

St. Patrick's Day

We learned about the life of St. Patrick and how he used the clover to teach others about Jesus!

We made clover pinwheels to remind us of St. Patrick and to reinforce what we learned about force to make our pinwheels move.  We had a lot of fun blowing air to make them spin!

Experimenting with Force and Friction

We are observing and recording the distance an object travels when it is pushed with more or less force across different surfaces.
