Reflecting on our week:

Students worked on telling time during a math center this week. Some of it was a review of old information and some cards required students to work at figuring out new information.

 Students loved learning more about mixtures and solutions during our lab on Thursday. Students used water, powered drink mix, filters, rubber bands, and empty cups to better understand solutions.

 Then students worked with a partner using water, glitter, filters, rubber bands, and cups to better understand mixtures.
