Melting Ice

Today we made predictions about how long it would take for our giant ice block to melt. There's a penny in the center so we can't wait to see how long it takes to turn from solid to liquid! 




We decided to put the tray of liquid with the penny back into the freezer. What will happen to the liquid?

Productive Struggle

Lately we have been learning about Productive Struggle. Children are given a challenging problem and asked to work independently, with a buddy, or a small group. Today we are cutting and sorting shapes. Each student is generating his/her own idea for how to sort all of the shapes!
