Tomorrow is the last day before spring break.
Today we started with the students doing "the perfect one page report" using any topic of their choice on one of the chapters we have already covered in our Socials studies text. After spring break we begin the part of the Socials text on the Unit that covers the coming of the Europeans to North America.
After recess we had the amazing finals in our Read for the Top. The event was covered by 'A' news and will probably be on tv tonight. Our class team of grade 4s competed hard against the grade 5 team and ended up coming in second place. I am proud of the outstanding effort and work these four hard working students put into this reading effort.
In the afternoon we read for 35 minutes, talked about and tried to sort out a rock throwing incident involving several of our students. We ended the day by doing a 'walk through' two chapters in the Science text on Light. The students then started a small poster size report showing what they already know about light. (we will finish it in class tomorrow)
Science: The four properties of air
Air temperature is determined by the sun. The sun's energy heats up the earth and the surface warms the air above it.
Air pressure is the amount of force that air is pushing on something. Warm air is lighter and gives less pressure. The air particles in warm air are farther apart than in cool air.
Wind is air in motion. It is caused when the surface of the earth heats unevenly. The air will move from high pressure to low pressure. This results in the movement of air, or wind.
Humidity is how much water vapor is in the air. The presence of water vapor depends on location. If you are near a large body of water you may experience more humid air.
Air pressure is measured using a barometer
Temperature is measured using a thermometer.
Wind speed is measured using an anemometer.
Humidity is measured using a hygrometer.
