Today we read Chapter 3 of Book Three: Keeley and The Mountain. 

 Ask me what happened in Frank Alberta.  Ask me what I’m worried about from the book?

 

SCIENCE:

Today we watched a video about sinking and floating. We talked about some important scientific words from the Scientific Method like hypothesis, test, observe and experiment.  Ask me what these words mean! We are excited to begin learning about Boats and Buoyancy in Science.  Please watch the video below with me all about how to do an experiment about floating and sinking.
