N ~ We wrote NOTES to next year’s class, giving them the low down on what it means to be in Mrs. James’ class. Mrs. James will be sharing them all with her new students when she returns from maternity leave in September 2017!…or maybe just the ones that were kind… 😉

Posted on June 11, 2016 by Ms. Watt | 2 comments

Thank you to all the students who created questions to our Think Math answer last week:
The answer is 42 plants blooming on Mrs. James’ windowsill.
There were 38 plants on Mrs. James’ windowsill. Then Mrs. James put 4 more plants on the windowsill. How many in all? ~ Mia
There were 10 plants on the windowsill. Then 10 more were planted. Another 10 were planted by Sahana. Then Selena planted 10 more with Amber. Then 2 more were planted by Miss Watt. How many in all? ~ Vera
There are 32 plants blooming. 10 peoples plants didn’t grow yet they were really jealous but after a few weeks their plants started to grow. Yay! How many people’s plants blooming? ~ Cayla
There were 30 plants & Chloe said we need more plants & she gets 12 more plants. She makes a flower store & calls it Chloe’s Flowers. We all go to her store after. How many plants blooming? ~ Sahana
There are 45 sprouts about to bloom. Julia adds a special growing formula & then 6 plants begin to grow very quickly & bloom. Then Chloe said, ” Mine did not bloom!” & was so mad that she threw 3 plants in lalaland & went to get a macaroon. How many plants blooming? ~ Casandra
There are 20 plants blooming on Mrs. James’ windowsill. 1 person brings 20 more then after another person brought 2 more. How many in all? ~ Bariki
There are 60 people growing plants! 30 mins later Sahana says I’m having a birthday party! Then 5 people leave to go to her birthday party! Then 3 people plan her party! Then Julia leaves to go to the doughnut store. Then Vera & Casandra leave to go to the party! Then again, like always, Mrs. MurMurMur kicks out 4 people! Then 4 people go for the macaroon sale! Then Vera & Cayla go because they need to go buy a present & come back. How many plants blooming on fab Mrs. James’ windowsill? ~ Chloe

Here’s this week’s answer! Good Luck Grade 3s! Remember there are as many different correct answers as there are students in our class! I can’t wait to share the answers next Friday!

K ~ KERNELS of popcorn
We popped some popcorn in a couple old fashioned hot air popcorn poppers, including the one that Miss Watt used as a Grade 3 student! It was so cool to see it close up instead of waiting outside a microwave!

M ~ Then we enjoyed our popcorn while watching & laughing out loud at the MOVIE Minions! Thanks for sharing Sean!

J is for JUMPY SCIENCE

Poppin_Rockets_0128 J ~ JUMPY Poppin Rockets! Science with baking soda & vinegar!
We created a chemical reaction in a film canister! The vinegar reacts with the baking soda and produces carbon dioxide gas. Pressure builds up until the small canister can no longer contain the gas. The lid pops off, the canister shoots up into the air, the gas escapes, and the pressure is released.
CLICK HERE, HERE & HERE to see videos of our rockets in action!!

I is for ICKY SCIENCE

I ~ ICKY messy fun with Oobleck! Science with cornstarch & water!
Oobleck is a non-newtonian fluid. That is, it acts like a liquid when being poured, but like a solid when a force is acting on it. You can grab it and then it will ooze out of your hands.
Oobleck gets its name from the Dr. Seuss book Bartholomew and the Oobleck where a gooey green substance, Oobleck, fell from the sky and wreaked havoc in the kingdom.
