Mock Rocks

Remember this lesson prepping?

During the last two weeks, the students have been learning the characteristics of rocks. That began with an experiment called Mock Rocks, where pairs of kids "mined" through their fake rocks to discover shells, smaller rocks, food coloring, and sand. We learned that minerals are the same material all the way through, and that rocks are a combination of minerals.

Here are some pictures of that week...

Math Test Tomorrow

This first math unit has been a big one! Lots of new concepts, lots of big numbers, lots of hard work!

The test will cover the following topics:

*Rounding

*Subtracting across Zeroes

*Checking with Addition

*Comparing Numbers

*Even and Odd Numbers

*Place Value Models

*Ways to Write Numbers (standard, word, and expanded forms)

*Right Angles

*Perimeter

Today in class we completed a review packet. I've attached it here if you want a fresh copy. Otherwise, just make up your own examples! And keep in mind, the kids will have to read the whole test by themselves.
