When you add up:
- syringes
- graduated cylinders
- 2 pan balances
- gram stackers
- solids & liquids
= FUN!
Students have moved from building and designing carts that move to measuring and predicting the outcome of mixing solids and liquids. Was it messy? (a little) Was it noisy? (Yup!) Was it fun? (It really was!)
Expanded Sentences
It started with a snowman. Then we wondered what a snowman could do? Run? Ski? Sled? Skate? Snowboard? Sure!
Subject and predicate = sentence The snowman skated.
But a third grade sentence? Not quite!
But if we e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d our sentences and answered questions about not just who?and what?, but also why? when? where? and how? then MAYBE, they would turn into great third grade sentences.
Your students brought home their drafts today, BUT the final drafts outlined their snowmen and they are proudly standing the hallway for others to read. Check these out!
Here is Charlie's!
