Math
In math we had a challenge to build a rectangle that was 40 long and 20 short. We used rods to build them and this was a continuation from yesterday when students built a rectangle that was 30 units long and 10 short. If we finished this we were also challenged to DOUBLE IT. Ask me what I did to build and double my rectangle. We also had to prove how we knew it was a rectangle. Ask me how I knew? 

RULES FOR A RECTANGLE:



Science: Magnets

New Vocabulary

Repel: Push away from each other (not like each other!)
Attract: Pull together (like each other!)



We practiced using magnets and putting together North-North   North-South   South-South    South-North to see what would happen with the magnets and what it would feel like?  We observed magnetic forces of attraction and magnetic forces of repulsion.
