Martin Luther King Jr. : Today we remember the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. We read the story Big Words by Doreen Rappaport and learned and sang a song about freedom to the first and second grade class.

This weeks spelling list reflects the teaching of Dr. King.  We learned about contractions (the coming together of words with an apostrophe!).  

We are learning how to record our scientific investigations or experiments in the form of a laboratory or "lab" report.  The question we are addressing is: Can we make a strong magnet that can be turned on and off?  For this investigation it is important to understand the scientific process.  Do you know the steps of the Scientific Process?

We are also knee deep in mathematical problem solving.  Ask your student what this is all about!
