Math: I am very impressed with how well you worked with each other in going over the benchmark. I heard lots of great conversations about how to solve for certain problems, and it was all in a good spirit of wanting to help and get better!

Science: The virtual lab helped us to see how a plant makes its food. Sunlight starts the process of photosynthesis in the leaves, along with water and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is the waster product that exits through the leaves in this process.

Math: The amount of time knowledge you have is quite impressive! Don't forget to make a SEE chart (Start, Elapsed, End), and draw a timeline. Be sure to draw mountains to represent hours, hills to represent five minutes, and dots to represent single minutes.

Math: Keep working well on your time questions! Make sure to read the story problem carefull to understand if you are looking to the start time or the end time.

Science: We began looking at the process of metamorphosis today. There is no way to study this concept than by having our very own organisms that go through this amazing process! The mealworms made quite an impression on everyone today, and I am proud of how well you took care of them! The names were awesome, by the way! We're excited to see how they change over the next couple of weeks.
