We started off this Wednesday with a new set of Centers.

After recess, we reviewed the homework questions about contact and non-contact forces. We then discussed gravitational forces and how to measure these forces with spring scales and Newtons. Students had to find 5 items in class that they could measure the gravitational force using a spring scale. We then discussed our findings.







We then completed 3 stations in math continuing to practice long division with place value. At station 1, students could choose between the repeated subtraction strategy and the place value strategy. Station 2 allowed students to practice with the place value strategy, and station 3 was on the computer. We will have a short quiz on Friday, March 2 on the place value strategy for long division. This will wrap up our Division unit and take us into Fractions and Decimals.

We finished up our day with Phys Ed and Read Aloud.
