Science
This week in Science we learned about magnets and magnetic fields. We did something really cool where we levitated disk magnets by just using a pencil! We learned that magnetic fields are the area of force surrounding a magnet and that magnetic poles are the north and south ends of a magnet. We also learned that some magnets are really strong! Magnets are inside compasses, they can be used for many things, and that if you rub a magnet on a piece of metal, then the metal becomes a new magnet. Magnets are in refrigerator doors, and they are also used to close things. We also learned about atoms in Science. Protons and electrons make up an atom and the protons and electrons make up and atom and the protons and electrons jumping back and forth create static electricity. So, if you get shocked by a slide when you come down it and you get shocked, that's really the electron on the atom on the slide jumping onto the atoms on you. We had a fun time this week learning in Science.
Reading
This week in reading we found out we are going to be doing a word parade.A word parade is when we go to a class room and tell them about the new word that we learned.To get prepared for this we have to make a sign with our word, the definition, and a sentence for our word. We also have to dress up as it too. It is going to be a fun word parade!!!!!!!!!!! Also, in Reading we did a computer game about Internet Safety. The computer game is about a kid named Zack. He is doing all this bad stuff on his computer. His dad wants to help him but Zack wont let him.Zack meets another kid on the computer that is older than him. Zack ran away to go live with him. We are helping Zack's dad to get him back by playing a game and finding password.We had a fun time in reading this week!!
