We have been learning about gravity all week. After completing experiments and reading about gravity, we revised our ideas.
We have been making placemats for Rosie's Place with our buddies. We started by cutting out examples of color and texture from magazine. Then, students were free to create their own designs, with or without a connection to the holidays. Teachers will deliver the placemats to Rosie's Place this weekend. We have started writing to our pen pals! Our pen pals live in Cambodia and are between 9 and 12 years old. We are connected with these students through Caroline Bell, a former Lincoln teacher. Caroline now teaches at Liger Learning Center in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. To learn more about Liger, check out this article in the Phnom Penh Post.
This week we started a new science unit, force and motion. Our poem this week is below. Check out our illustrations! On the Move by Gerri Brioso and Richard Freitas If you want to move a ball from here to over there, You can kick it with your foot and send it through the air. If the ball's too heavy, don't you despair. Make a ramp, sent it rolling. It will get over there. Push it or pull it. Move it everywhere. Roll it down, throw it up, high into the air. For our final project on nutrition, we are making a giant My Plate Collage. Students are working on cutting out examples of the different food groups from magazines.
