This last two weeks in Science, we having been learning about what Matter is and that we can classify and describe matter by using physical properties. We classified the contents of our desk, brought in items from home & around the classroom and sorted them by shape, color, texture, size, metal or not, solids, liquids, things that hold something inside or not, etc.
We also made the connection that matter is a noun.
The first week of school we took some time to get to know our
classmates, get our desk and supplies set up for the year, and we created a ............TIME
CAPSULE!!
For the time
capsule, we listed our current favorites and measured the length of our arm, leg, waist, height, and head.
This of course was a blast for everyone!
The time capsules are hidden in the classroom. We will revisit them at the end of the year to see how much each student has grown through out the year.
These will be sent home at the end of the year as well.
