We strive to be thinkers. This week, we learned that being thinkers can solve our problems and prove something. In our morning circle, our teacher played the ukulele and we thought about the difference between a guitar and a ukulele. We thought that guitars were bigger and heavier than ukuleles, but how can we prove it? With that question, our teacher asked us to think and answer this question, which one is heavier a kilo of cotton or a kilo of rocks? How can we know that something is heavier than the other? We use a weighing scale! A few of us thought that the rocks are heavier than the cotton, but it came out that none was heavier! How? Because they were both a kilo in weight.

With that in mind, we made our weighing scale using available materials like a hanger, a string, and cups. We weighed different objects like toys, ukulele, etc. We proved that heavier objects make the hanger go down just like when we play at a seesaw. We also proved that the two strings should be the same length and the cups should be the same size and weight. What an amazing discovery we had!

For UOI, we finished our My Family mini-book and did a Show and Tell. We were happy to show our own book to the class.

We went to the gym last Tuesday and did some routine with our teachers.

To end our week, our teacher read us a story about the Star Festival titled “Tanabata Seven” in English. Now we know the story behind it and why we celebrate it. Tonight, we want to look up the sky and wish to see the two star-crossed lovers, Princess Orihime and Hikoboshi, meeting in Milky Way.

Happy Weekend!
