Last week we learned about the scientific process. We used this process to find out what would clean a penny the best. We used salt and water, lemon juice, and lemon juice and salt. Which one do you think would clean the penny the best? Ask your child about the results.
With the month of October coming to end, I want to remind you about two reading logs. First, please make sure your child fills out and has you sign the Book It form. Every child should be able to earn the pizza coupon. Also, Remember our 1,0000 book challenge. I will need all October logs next Friday and will send home November logs. I can't wait to see how many books we have read.
Thursday we participated in the O.R.E.O. project. That stands for Our Really Exciting Online project. Our challenge was to predict how many Oreo cookies we could stack. Each child had two attempts. While stacking cookies, the students practiced tallying. Our class average was 12 cookies. Sondra stacked the most with 17.
We extended the project by conducting an experiment. We experimented to find out if there was a difference between name brand Oreos and generic sandwich cookies. Each student used their sense of taste to collect data. The students closed their eyes while tasting the cookies. They then stated which cookie they preferred or whether they tasted the same.
Parents, you will love the results! Only 3 students chose the Oreos. All others either liked the generic better or said they tasted the same. So, the next time you buy sanwich cookies, you can save over a dollar a package by buying the generic.
