Another day at school! by Macy M.

We reviewed alliteration this morning. Here is a silly sentence for you: Seventy snowmen swallow snowballs! We took our Unit 3 Treasures test. We are getting better and better at taking these tests! After lunch we listened to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In the story, Violet Beauregarde snatched a piece of gum and after eating it, she turned into a giant blueberry! We reviewed our -9 math facts and took a mad minute test. Then we reviewed what friction is! It is when two things rub together, causing them to slow down. We raced some of our shoes down a ramp, to see who's shoes had more friction. Danny's shoe had great friction! It didn't move anywhere! It had grooves in it that seemed to grip the table! Ava D and Ava W.'s Ugg boots had the least friction. They sped down the ramp really fast! We also learned about gravity today. Gravity is an invisible pull toward the middle of the earth. We watched videos of astronauts in outerspace who had no gravity. They floated everywhere. We drew pictures of our classroom as if there was no gravity!

Have an awesome weekend!
Sincerely,
Macy M.
