Students investigated how differences in lava types explain differences in the shape and eruption patterns among volcanoes. In the activity, Bubble Trouble, students compared two different types of "lava" -- thin and thick. They use this information to figure out why volcanoes have different shapes and how the type of lava explains why some volcanoes explode. - Mrs. DiNuzzo, 4th Grade Teacher
From our friends at GMHS . . .
Students in Mrs. Carrozzo's third grade groups are having fun being word detectives and sorting words by vowel sound and syllable type. Understanding and being able to tell the difference between short and long vowel sounds just by listening is important for reading and writing! Knowing the distinction between short and long vowels also helps students when trying to determine the type of syllable. Students are enjoying working together to figure out how to sort these pictures and words!
