Our Moon — 3/2/15

Due to our weather days last week, we are continuing to work on our Week 16 newsletter this week. We are planning on testing on Friday if our weather permits.

Today we reviewed our 6 vocabulary words. We completed a Moon Powerpoint and Graphic Organizer. The graphic organizer is our Daily Work grade for the week. I’ll be checking it one day later in the week for a grade.

This PowerPoint and notes were purchased from the Science Penguin. I love her resources. It is available for purchase here.

Moon Phase Lab 3/14/14

Big thanks to all the 4th grade parents who donated a pack of oreo cookies to our 4th grade Science room. The students LOVED eating them in the name of Science. I have wound up with several extra packs due to so many parents sending 2 packs. I firmly believe that we have the best students and parents at HES!! I have promised the kids that we will have these one day as a snack — maybe after a Science Test!!

I spotted this fun lab on Pinterest last summer — and I knew that our 4th graders would LOVE it!! I found this moon phase sheet on Teachers Pay Teachers for FREE!! 🙂 TPT is one of my favorite sites to help me find things to use in our Science classroom — fellow teachers you must check it out!! This sheet is located here for anyone interested.
