Just as I was bragging on time for moving quickly, it does the hokey pokey and turns itself around. Monday was a partially awful professional development day. State mandated ADHD, Suicide prevention. Oh well, CPE hours are CPE hours.
Tuesday- We did a Moon Phases lab using Oreo cookies. It took roughly 4 packs of the family size walmart brand to do the job. Each group got 4 cookies and a popsicle stick (I have a number of children I won't even trust with plastic knives). They were tasked with creating the 8 main moon phases using these 4 cookies and the icing.
Wednesday- We introduced Weather, and talked about how to measure that weather. I used a page out of a NewPath Learning book which had a weather station they had to read and interpret.
Thursday- We learned about weather maps and the symbols on them. The kid had to read 2 weather maps, and then created their own! All 4 pages came from the Interactive Science Notebooking package (see previous post for link)
Friday- We introduced climate and compared it to weather. I gave the kids a climate map of the US and had them answer questions about the climate zones and what kind of weather they experienced there. Forgot to take a picture = (
I'm glad for this week to be over. We've been continuing to track the moon phases every day. Even if we hadn't, I'd have known it was a Full Moon on Friday. We had kids crying, someone got Germ-X in both eyes, and one kid kicked another in the face. Come on, February.
