Science Lab and Time to the Hour

     Today was an exciting day in our classroom, I'm sure some of you might have heard about some of the things that we did today.  During math time we went outside and using an extension cord as our circle we made a clock, then wrote the numbers around the clock.  Two students at a time then showed a time on our clock using their bodies.  They laid down feet in the middle and raised their hands above their heads to point to the numbers.  The other students then had to tell what time was being told.  The kids had a lot of fun and it was a great hands on activity.

     We also went to the science lab again today.  The students each had the opportunity to try an experiment that was in our science books.  I put a tissue/paper towel in the bottom of a cup and then everyone had the opportunity to turn it over in a bowl full of water.  When we pulled the cup out the tissue/paper towel was still dry.  We discussed how there is air, a gas, in the cup and the water doesn't fill up the cup, so it stays dry.
