Sorting Shapes and Mixing Liquids

In their groups, students were asked to sort various shapes.  Some groups sorted by number of sides or odd/normal shapes.  We learned today that you can sort shapes by geometric properties like number of sides and number of corners (vertices).  Non-geometric properties include size and shape.

In Science, we experimented by mixing various liquids (e.g. vinegar, oil, ketchup) with water to see which liquids mix well and which ones do not mix well.  Oil and ketchup DID NOT mix well. Vinegar, milk, water and juice did mix well! Happy Friday!

Beach Volleyball,Chinese New Year and Mixing Liquids

It may be cold outside but in gym it was nice and warm as we played beach volleyball.

Today we made Chinese lanterns to commemorate the year of the sheep (or goat).  After we read the story "Lion Dance" about a boy who participates in Chinese New Year festivities in New York City.  We watched a video that showed us what the lion dance was all about.  We also learned how to say Happy New Year in Chinese.
What happens when you mix a liquid with a liquid?  Ask your child what happened when we mixed water and food colouring and water and oil.  This photo might help!
