Meltdown and Math Problems

This week in science we learned about heat energy, thermal energy, and light energy. One of our favorite memories was when we played "Meltdown" an exciting game where we used friction and heat energy to melt an ice cube. We worked in partners and raced against our classmates to see who could melt the ice cube first. Here are some fun pictures and videos from our game. We hope you enjoy them!

In math, we have been studying about addition and subtraction. We have learned that addition stories take two groups and join them together to find the sum and that subtraction stories take a group and separate some from the group leaving you to find the difference. We have been working on creating our own addition and subtraction problems using the Educreations app and the Showme app. We have also created some addition stories on paper as well. Here are some examples of the exciting stories we have written this week. We hope you like them.
