EXPERIMENT TIME

Today we started a new section in our Science lessons: Experiments with the Scientific Method.
Our first experiment was about the importance of washing our hands before eating.

We used a plate filledwith water and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper (representing the germs) and a drop of dish soap. When we touched the water without soap, the pepper stayed on our finger. But when we touched it with soap, the pepper moved away very quickly.

This simple activity helped us see how soap protects us from germs and keeps us healthy.

Hoy hemos comenzado una nueva sección en nuestras clases de Ciencias: Experimentos con el método científico.
Nuestro primer experimento trató sobre la importancia de lavarse las manos antes de comer.

Usamos un plato con agua y 1/4 de cucharadita de pimienta (que representaba los gérmenes) y una gota de jabón. Cuando tocamos el agua sin jabón, la pimienta se quedó pegada al dedo. Pero cuando lo hicimos con jabón, la pimienta se movió muy rápido.

Con esta sencilla actividad hemos comprobado cómo el jabón nos protege de los gérmenes y nos ayuda a mantenernos sanos.

IDIOM 1: BREAK THE ICE

                                   📚✨ Idioms Monday in 4th Grade ✨📚

Today we start a new section in class: Idioms Monday.

Every Monday we will learn a typical expression from English culture.

                                                    👩‍🏫 What is an idiom?

An idiom is a special expression in English. The words say one thing, but the meaning is different.

👉 Example in Spanish: “Estar en las nubes” doesn’t mean you are really flying—it means you are distracted.

                                          📌 Why are idioms important?

Because native speakers use them all the time. Learning idioms makes our English sound more natural and fun.

📝 Instructions:

1. On a white piece of paper, write the idiom.

2. Write its meaning in Spanish.

3. Draw a picture of the idiom. The picture can be literal (ice breaking) or show the real meaning (people starting to talk).

4. Write one sentence using it.

📅 You have from Monday to next Monday to finish it.

✅ Example sentence:

“The teacher told a joke to break the ice on the first day of school.”
