IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Last week in Story Workshop, we did an author’s study of Todd Parr.  The students loved reading his books and noticing what made his books unique.  Many of them have tried his style in their own stories.  Today Sydney shared the start of her book called “The Family Book.”  She was inspired by Todd Parr and that is evident through her illustrations and the start of her story.

This morning our science provocation included a new tool called a hydrometer.  The students explored the tool and made some predictions about what it is for.  Many of them thought it had to do with temperature.  Some students noticed that it had the words “instant ocean” on the side.  They were thinking that because ocean water is saltwater the tool may have something to do with salt.  We  made connections to the note we have from the museum because many students thought the liquid on the note may have salt in it as well. We also had our first science meeting this afternoon.  The scientists learned a new song all about the scientific method.  More to come about our science discoveries this week!
