Leaf Pack Data

We had an awesome time exploring the contents of our leaf packs today!

Yesterday, we studied, discussed and compared our biological, physical, and chemical data with the data Vasanthi's class collected during our field trip last week.  

Today, the leaf packs were collected and we got to spend over an hour just examining the biological data collected.  Our two leaf packs were packed with Macroinvertebrates! Here are a few photos:
We could have spent all evening examining and discussing our findings! Instead, we had to go to PE and then home, so we'll share noticings and numbers tomorrow.  We'll also get together with Vasanthi's class to compare our leaf pack data.  What a way to study ecosystems!

We've also been working on reviewing the relationship between multiplication and division.  
Have you heard about the incredible shrinking carrots?!

We've been reading from Storyworks this week and worked together to create a reading response focused on theme. It was HARD work, but we all contributed good ideas. Students have a copy of it in their reponse journals.

Good to see many of you at conferences this week, I'll see the rest of you next Tuesday!
