Today we:
1. Investigated why the days will be growing longer during vacation rather than shorter, as they have been since school started (and why we have seasons)!
2. Found the difference in temperature between a cold day in Vostok, Antartica (-129°F) and a cold day in Bellingham (28°F). We discovered that number lines do help us to think about negative numbers!
3. Finished the last of our non-fiction Literature Circles.
4. Investigated non-fiction materials to use for our research writing.
5. Practiced descriptive writing.
6. Shared compliments for powerful student choices.
7. Played a game and sang songs.
6. Shared holiday wishes and presents.
Thank you, everyone, for the thoughtful gifts! May your holidays and vacation be filled with many happy memories (that we will write about, next year!)
Happy New Year,
Mr Larrison
