Today we: learned about Martin Luther King Jr. and his famous speech about civil rights. Students corrected an excerpt on the board that had spelling and punctuation mistakes and then we watched a video explaining who he is and why he is so important to the world's history.
After some more practice on multiplication of 2-digit numbers, we dove into a science lesson about conductors and insulators. Students got to predict and vote on whether certain objects were conductors or insulators, and then we watched an experiment online to test each object for its ability to pass electricity on a circuit. They recorded them in a chart in their visual journals.
After lunch, we started our next Read Aloud book, The Rise of the Jumbies. We did a musical chairs exercise of text graffiti where the students got to share their predictions based on solo quotes taken randomly from the book. We read the first two chapters and then wrote a prediction for Chapter 3.
The students were very wiggly by this time, so we had an intermittent fitness break to get some energy out. We did a 5 minute video of 40 second exercises with 20 second rests. Students were panting by the end!
We ended the day with some Kahoot online quiz challenges for math and science. Students tested their multiplication facts and reviewed what we learned this morning about electricity conductors and insulators.
