Thoughts of the day: April 19

What did we do today?

• We switched our desks around and we have a new horseshoe arrangement.
• We had buddies today and we helped them finish their IRIS pages, now we have to work on our own!
• Today was our last day of recorders and Mrs. Lim was hoping we would get all of our videos on IRIS.  One more person received their silver belt. 
• This afternoon in science, we continued to work on our container building. There were two groups that were successful with building a leak proof container.  They used a layer of plastic then a layer of tin foil.  The other group had multiple layers.
• More beans have sprouted!  Two seeds melted in the heat and one sprout shriveled. 
• In social, we continued our centers and most people are working on their third one of eight.

What questions do we have after today?

1. Will all the containers be successful by the end of the week?
2. If we have any hot weather, will any more beans perish?
3. How tall will the biggest bean plant grow?  How small will the shortest be?
