Friday Newsletter

We have had a fantastic week and our brains are FULL of so many new ideas!


Science- 
We made Venn Diagrams comparing animal and plant cells.


We tweeted our thoughts....


We did an experiment with vinegar and egg shells. Then we proved "concentration" with liquids using dyed water and corn syrup.











Math- We continued to learn about conversions, integers and comparing decimals.
We played a conversion card game.






Here are the target number results this week!

Just working on integers with our cell pals!


We plotted negative and positive temperatures
And we worked on the Mimeo with comparing decimals.
