UOI: Today we talked about balanced and unbalanced forces. Forces are balanced when there is the same amount of weight pushing and pulling at the same time. When there is more push than pull, or vise versa, then they become unbalanced. When the forces are unbalanced there is movement. When there they are balanced there is no movement. We started off by using the pan balances  and finding out which items were the heaviest and which were the lightest and ranking them from 1-5. Next They used the balances to determine how many blocks equalled certain amount of weight in grams. They had so much fun!

Math: Today we talked about calendars. We looked at counting days/week before and after a certain date. Next we figured out how many months children from by converting years to months. We also talked about how many weeks, months and days in a year as well as in a leap year! They were very interested in it! Finally we did some work in the textbook.
