(Students explore circuits!)
Hello again from the Coti Sweets classroom! Although this week was only four days, it was packed with fun activities and we sure learned a lot!
First of all, we want to thank those of you who showed up to and/or helped out with the Politics and Prose fundraiser last weekend—we had a great turnout! More specifically, Ms. Coti and I really appreciate those of you who donated books to our classroom. We really appreciate it!
In Social Studies we continued learning about the 13 colonies—researching and presenting on one specific colony. Each pair did a great job with the research, presentation, and file folder that they used to present their material. Take a look in our classroom—they are hanging on a bulletin board along with our colony postcards from last week!
In Science with Ms. Coti, we learned about electric circuits this week, exploring how to make one using only 2 wires, a D-cell battery, and a small light bulb. Everyone had a lot of fun experimenting with these materials, and it was so exciting when the light bulbs turned on!
Last week into this week, Coti Math has been applying their knowledge about fractions to games! Using any materials they could find, students were instructed to create a game that used fractions. This week students finalized their games and we all played them—the students were very creative!
On a different note, we are excited to announce that all of our 4th grade classes got approved to go on a series of four environmental science field trips this Spring!! More information and permissions slips will be coming soon!!
That’s all for now—we have a lot of pictures this week, so enjoy them and have a great long weekend!
Ms. Goldy
