Hello, this is Amber and Vainavi. Today we will be telling you about our fantastic week! We will tell you what we did that made each day so special. Last but not least, why we enjoyed what we did so much. With the help of our wonderful teacher Mrs. Clayton, we did many fun and educational things like swimming, Mad Scientists and our unit three math test!
On Monday, we had our first swimming lesson with Ms. Wenstrom and Ms. Bell. Hopefully, no one felt embarrassed doing the solo swim in a certain stroke. I bet that everyone hated it when we had to go to the cold, freezing shower before we went into the pool. We mainly liked it when we got to practice our strokes before we did the solo swim. So then we were all warmed up to start our assessment.
On Wednesday and Thursday, we had Mad Scientists! We tried to figure out how many grams it would take to saturate Epsom Salt. We had to shake like crazy to make the salt dissolve before we added more salt. We learned how many grams it would take for the salt to saturate. It was hard to saturate the salt, because we had to first finish shaking the bottle, until the salt dissolved. Then we added more salt until it was saturated. According to us it was like a dance party from shaking so much! It took so long to saturate the Epsom Salt compared to the Kosher Salt. So, that is why we had to finish our experiment on Thursday.
On Thursday, we had our unit three math test. Our math subject was about multiplying larger numbers. To us, the part that wasn’t so easy was multiplying three digit by three digit numbers. We hoped that we aced the test as well as everyone else. We were both stressed out at first, but it was easier than we thought.
Sadly, that was the end of our wonderful and busy week. We had so much fun in these 4 days, that we never even realized how fast it went! Hopefully everybody enjoyed their week as much as we did!
I think that it is a really good Weekly Update and that you summarised our week extremely well. The only changes I would have made were all done in class so there isn't anything that I would change. All in all it is a very good Weekly Update and I am sure anyone reading this will know what we get upton in our school weeks.
ReplyDeleteI loved the weekly update,even when we did mad scientists. It was super fun because when we put Kosher Salt inside the bottle every time I had to get ready for the crazy shaking in the classroom. It was fun because I was really excited to find out much spoons it would take to get the bottle saturated.
ReplyDeleteI like how Vainavi and Amber described what we did this week and wrote about how they felt doing all those things. They did a great job making it interesting so people will actually want to read it. Great job, Vainavi and Amber!
ReplyDeleteI really liked how they explained why they liked it so much and why it was so interesting. I wouldn't change a thing about this weekly update. Great job Amber and Vainavi.
