Last week was a totally sticky week in SMAC. The subject was apples. We talked about how apples grow. We discussed pollination and bees. Then finally we picked the apples and cooked them. Stickiness came when we performed a science experiment. I asked the question "Does an apple feel the same after you cook it? Or does it feel different? It was fun watching the kids while they observed the feel of the apples. I have to admit that some of them really did not think the experiment was worth having to touch the squishy apples. I loved it, though my fingers were sticking together. After the experiment the students were able to choose if they would like to taste applesauce, apple juice, or an apple slice. The kids thought this was the very best part!
Hi, I am Glenna Roundy. You may have heard about your child's SMAC class. Don't be alarmed!!! SMAC is an acronym for Science, Math, adapted to the core. We have a lot of fun in SMAC learning about math and how we use it in our everyday lives. The science lessons are based around the Utah core standards of learning. Check in and see what your child is learning. The children love to share what they are learning about science and their world.
Please share your thoughts and ideas! Together we can be better.
