The Water Cycle
Today we joined Ms. Sanchez's class and together we worked in groups to build a model of the water cycle. The model had to show at least two out of the following four processes: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. They had to choose their supplies and explain what they would be used for, draw up a plan, and then build the model. Their materials could include: hot water, water at room temperature, ice, large plastic bin, heat lamp, plastic cups, rubber bands, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and ziploc bags. The groups did a fantastic job!!
A Look at this Week:
Science- Students will finish discussing the water cycle, and will begin looking at the geosphere. We will be reading about landforms, and understanding the difference between climate and weather.
ELA
Reading- Students will be practicing parts of Longfellow's poem "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." They will recite a section of the poem and will be working on reading with expression and inflection. Students will also be comparing the events in the poem, to the events of our short story, "And Then What Happened Paul Revere?"
Language Arts- Students will continue to practice writing in response to their reading. They will use the R.A.C.E. strategy to answer questions about Paul Revere.
Word Work- Students will begin to work on List 7: hypo, hyper, im/in, milli, fore, and rupt.
Math- Students will finish Unit 4 and take their Unit 4 test on Friday.
