π¬π§ Science Explorers: Scientists & Engineers!
Today, our Explorers stepped into the world of scientists and engineers! Working in their collaboration groups, students explored their science magazines, reading, discussing, and sharing their ideas with one another. Along the way, we discovered what scientists and engineers actually do and how they use curiosity, creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving to make discoveries and find solutions.
Our Explorers learned that scientists ask questions, investigate, and look for answers, while engineers design, create, test, and improve solutions to real-world problems. They even discovered that making mistakes and trying again is an important part of the process!
And the adventure doesn't stop here! πΊοΈ Next week, our class will take on a special engineering challenge as we help βMy Friend Fredβ solve a problem. Our Explorers will put on their scientist and engineer hats, work together, think creatively, and see if they can design a solution!
Who knows what discoveries and brilliant ideas our Explorers will uncover? ππ‘βοΈ
π§ Math Adventure: Around the Room!
π§ Math Adventure: Around the Room!
Our Explorers embarked on a math adventure to prepare for their Module 1 Math Test! Instead of staying at their desks, they set off on a journey around the classroom, searching for math questions posted at different exploration stations.
At each stop along the trail, students worked together to solve the problem, shared their mathematical thinking, and recorded their answers on their Explorer recording sheets. They had to collaborate, problem-solve, and use their math skills to navigate their way through the adventure!
THey had fun reviewing, exploring, and learning on the move! π§πΊοΈβοΈ
π¦π Our First Flashlight Friday! ππ¦
Our Explorers kicked off our very first Flashlight Friday! Students grabbed a book of their choice, turned on their colorful finger flashlights, and settled in for some cozy reading time. πβ¨
Nothing beats a good bookβ¦ unless you get to read it with a flashlight! π¦π
π₯π An Explorer Discovers Cucumber Water!
Sometimes I donβt even realize the little things my Explorers are noticing! One day, I was simply enjoying my cucumber lemon water when one of my students spotted the cucumbers floating in my cup and became curious. Fast-forward a bitβ¦ and now Leo is making his very own version at home! ππ
His mom shared that Leo has been dying to try cucumber lemon water ever since he saw my drink. They made cucumber lime water with lemon juice, and heβs officially a fan!Β
I guess Iβm out here changing livesβ¦ one cup of infused water at a time! π
Thank you to Leoβs mom for sharing these adorable pictures and giving me permission to share them with our class community! π
