"Wild" Learning with Harkins & Lankford

"Wild" Learning with Harkins & Lankford on PhotoPeach Lots of learning going on in Room 204! Fluency Monday is always a fun activity to help students strengthen their fluency and pace while reading. During Reader’s Workshop, students are allowed to read books of their choice! We learned about living together in our neighborhoods in Social Studies. In Science Workshop this week we did a lab on what will happen to the popcorn kernel when heat comes in contact with it? We used our 5 senses to record what we noticed. Did you know that Friday was the 19th day of school? Wow! Time flies when you are having fun! Enjoy the slideshow!

Science Workshop in Room 204!

Science Workshop on PhotoPeach What is the practice of Science? What is a Scientist? How do we work as Scientists? What are the steps of the Scientific Method? So many questions…and we will find the answers through our observations during our Science Workshops. Last week we learned to use our five senses to make observations. Our sense of taste was not used for this task. Each week we will use our Interactive Science Notebook/Journal to draw and write about our observations. At the end of this lesson we were able to describe and discuss what a Scientist does. Enjoy the slideshow!
