*We read a great book called 'Brave Irene'. We looked for evidence in the text to prove Irene was brave. Along the way, we discovered more qualities of this character and wrote about her.
*We have been talking about money, counting coins and playing various money games to strengthen our understanding of the relationship between coins. We have noticed the importance of knowing how to count by 5s and 10s when we need to count nickels and dimes. Using a hundred board to help has made this easier for some.
*We tested different solids to see which ones would absorb water and which would repel water.
* We learned that buoyancy refers to whether something will sink or float. We predicted and tested many different materials to determine if they were buoyant or not. We learned that matter that is more dense than water will sink and matter that is less dense will float.
