This week in Mrs. Zimmer's Class!

We are continuing to work on organizing and representing data into bar graphs, and tally charts.  While  comparing data, we are using these words in our explanations: more, most, fewer, fewest.  We have started only comparing data with two categories, and by the end of the week we will be comparing data with 3 categories.

In Science, we have started talking about how forces cause movement. We have learned the definitions of push and pull and came up with several examples.  We are going to start learning about balance this week.  We will read about it and do some experiments to help understand balance and the way things move.  You can start using our new vocabulary words when talking together about movement and sounds.  Our vocabulary words for this unit are:

Force

Gravity

Balanced

Counterbalanced

Speed

Magnet

Attract

Pole

Repel

Vibrate

In Health, we will recognize community helpers, “safe adults”, to recognize if they ever have to seek help in an area outside of the home.  We will discuss people who are community helpers, how or when they can help, and students will complete a journal activity independently.
