Did you know we have scientists in our classroom?

This week students have been learning what a scientist is and what they do. Today, we went on a nature walk outside our classroom door to observe the ground and objects around us. We also practiced observing objects inside the classroom. Students used magnifying glasses to really SEE what was around them. We looked at blades of grass, ants, cracks in the ground, carpets, rugs, and so much more. For the rest of the week we will be exploring tools that scientists use. We will learn how to observe, measure, record, describe, and sort things just like a scientists does. I am very excited about the many adventures we will have together.
