Sundials

Today in science we learned about shadows. We know that before there were clocks, people relied on the sun and the shadows it made to tell time. We made our own sundials!

 We traced over the shadow and recorded the time. We went back outside around each hour to see how the shadow had moved!
 We recorded the information in our journals.
Today in math we practiced solving multiplication problems by breaking them down into smaller problems to make it easier to solve. We had to come up with four different ways to solve a problem!
 Here are some examples that we came up with. We will be using the strategies for the rest of the week.

 Today was James' birthday!
