Math Fair, Water Displacement and Popsicles

This morning Miss.B taught us how to make origami boats.  We will look at the boats and figure out ways to make them sit both and lower in the water.  If your children have baths at night you can discuss water displacement with them when they get in and out of the water.

Next Friday April the 28th E.G will be hosting it's first Math Fair.  All of the students have been working hard on their displays as well as learning their games and teaching others how to play them. We would love to have as many parents as possible attend the fair from 9:00am-10:00am.  We worked for a solid 90 minutes on our Math Fair Projects with HUGE concentration, I am so proud of how each group is working together.

In gym we will be finishing up the badminton unit we began before the spring break.  Now that the nets are up students will be working on getting the birdie over the net.

Lastly, this morning we had a little popsicle party with the KG class.  Miss.Dodd and I have the same birthdays (but are over a decade apart!) and like to celebrate with our classes.  It's also a great way for the KG to get to know some of the grade 1 students.

Question of the day

What happens to the water level of the bathtub when you get in it?  Why does this happen?

  4. It goes up because you displace water. If the water is close to the top before you get in it will spill over the sides.- Parker

  5. When your body goes into the bath tub, the water level rises... it's because your body takes up space in the water, so the water goes up.
