We Have Fantastic Elastic Brains

Today we watched a video about magnets and learned that the earth is a big magnet.  They also taught us a magic trick on the video. After the video we drew 8 boxes in our visual journal and then we answered some questions about magnets in the boxes. We wrote and drew pictures about what we learned form the video.
In daily 5 we had 3 choices today.  We could do listening to reading, work on writing or read to self.  We read our class book of "It is not a stick".  We each made a page in the book.
We read another book called the Fantastic Elastic Brain. We learned that when we learn things are brain bets stronger.  We also learned that our brain controls everything we do.  Some of the parts of our brain are the cerebellum, cerebrum and the hippocampus.
