- Check math homework together.
Science/Social Studies (Interconnections):
Monday (05/08) :
- One of our objectives is that: "Students will identify objects that move and do not move when blown during the experiment individually."
- Students blowing on circular and movable objects in a race. After a couple times, I put out objects like pyramids, cubes, and cones where they're not movable. Students insisted saying that they're able to blow and move those. But after a couple tries, they learned that these objects cannot be blown. The learned that any objects with circular shapes can be moved when blown. A student put a cone on its side and then was able to blow it.
- Some students insisted saying that they're able to blow and move shapes of those pyramid, cube, and cone. Students learned that these objects cannot be blown.
- Watching + Doing = Learning.
- Why stones can move?

Wednesday (05/10):
- Interconnections(Science/Social Studies) is not taught every day and some lesson can take several days to complete.
Thursday (05/11):
- I can identify objects that move and do not move when I blow on them during the experiment by myself.
- I can identify objects that move and do not move when I roll it during the experiment by myself.
- I can sort objects according to size, shape, color and texture with a partner.
Friday (05/12):
- Review: Watched videos about "sink and float". (Thumb up/down vote. (sink or float)).
