Sink and Float

Look what my kids can do!  It was a busy day in class and this was the science journal entry after the sinking and floating activities. Unfortunately, I was not as clear on what I wanted my 4th grade helpers to do (they were to take dictation, if needed, since the objective was not writing, but rather making observations and sharing thoughts).  Imagine my "surprise"-shock to see that my lovely kindergarten-emergent writing had been carefully "corrected" by the helpers!  Luckily, I know my students and I know what they are capable of, so even though Madelyn's writing seems pretty amazing, I know that her original entry was: 

the bLOC float   the Lads sink

and that was perfectly fine (and she used the room to get the words float and sink!).

Woah! That video was awesome! You need to show that to Paula to show that you're doing science!

I should video tape my kids. But then again, they jacked my camera...
