BBQ Lunch is tomorrow

This morning we were given our spelling words for the week. Starting today we will get 10 new spelling words every Monday. It is expected that students practice their spelling words all week to prepare for the spelling test on Friday. Each student wrote down their 10 words and brought them home in their purple folders. We also talked about the possibility of bonus words that will be words built off of our original words. Some examples of bonus words will be in brackets next to the spelling words below:
1) on
2) not (dot, cot, lot, got, rot)
3) but
4) at (cat, bat, mat, that)
5) had (glad, sad, bad, mad)
6) in (fin, tin, bin, thin, shin)
7) did (lid, bid, kid)
8) get (let, bet)
9) red
10) hot

This afternoon we were given all different types of magnets and asked to explore. We moved around the classroom to see what the magnets stuck to, what they didn't stick to, how strong or weak they were, what each magnet could pick up the most items and if the magnets pushed away from each other. Here are some examples of our observations:
- Magnets stick to the bottom of our chairs
- One magnet could hold onto 3 other magnets
- Some magnets pushed apart
- The u-shaped magnet was weak because I couldn't get it to pick up other magnets
- South and North connected
- My necklace stuck to the magnets
We will continue to explore magnets through stations later in the week.
