Narratives, Subtraction and Crystals!

Today we began to look at narratives and created an anchor chart to assist us when we are writing our own stories.  It looks a lot like a Shape Go Map that we used to retell a...story!  After watching the story 'The Plot Chickens', we discussed things that a narrative must have to be awesome! We remembered to include proper punctuation and add details to 'bump up' our writing.


In Math, we continue to focus on 2D geometry but we are also beginning to work on subtracting 2-digit numbers with regrouping.  We used base ten to help us and even got to write on our desks! Here is a great poem to help us remember when we have to 'borrow' a ten!
 In Science, we created a solution using Borax (solid) and hot water (liquid).  We are hoping crystals will form on our 'snowflakes'.  Stay tuned! We also talked about solids that float and sink.  A new word was introduced...buoyancy (the ability of an object to float in water or air).  We discovered that not all solids float and a lot of them sink!
