Ayer, lunes 23 de junio, los chicos de 4to N y F del colegio Northfield prometieron fidelidad a nuestra bandera Argentina. En una jornada con emociones, sonrisas y algunas lágrimas se compartieron hermosos momentos junto a cada uno de los chicos y sus familias.
Palabras de Bianca Comotto (alumna): "Cuando llegué me
sentí nerviosa y con muchas ansias pero al final me sentí emocionada , feliz y alegre de prometer lealtad a nuestra bandera."

Plastic Bottle Terrarium
Since we are studying evolution of plants and trees, the habitat and the environment, we thought it could be a nice experience to grow our own terrarium. But... WHAT IS A TERRARIUM?
A terrarium is a collection of small plants growing in a transparent, sealed container. A
terrarium is a closed environment, and can actually be used to illustrate how an
ecosystem works. Inside a terrarium’s walls, many different natural processes may be
observed: photosynthesis, respiration, and the water cycle. The water in the terrarium is
constantly recycled, passing from liquid form to gas and back again. As the moisture in
the air condenses on the glass walls, it returns to the soil and is absorbed by the plants’
roots.

How to create a plastic bottle terrarium...
AND THIS IS HOW WE WORKED...
NOW... HOW CAN WE TAKE CARE OF OUR TERRARIUM?
The two most important factors we must consider when caring for our terrarium are
sunlight and water.
Sunlight: Place your terrarium in a bright area with indirect sunlight, such as a
windowsill. Because the terrarium is a closed system, it can get too hot if it is in direct
sun and the plants may burn.
Water: A properly maintained terrarium can go for weeks or months without needing
water. As the terrarium heats up, water will be pulled up from the rocks and soil to the
top of the container where it will form a mist and then drip back down to water the plants.
You should be able to see some mist on the sides of the container as well as some fog
inside; however, if the sides are constantly wet, and there is so much condensation that
you cannot see your plants, then you will need to open the top of the container
temporarily to allow it to dry.
Pruning: Plants may need to be pruned to keep them small enough to fit the container.
You can do this with a pair of scissors.
Fertilizer: You should not add any fertilizer to your terrarium. The goal is to keep the
plants very small, so you do not want to encourage rapid growth. The plants will get the
nutrients they need from the soil.

Viajamos a Rosario
Hoy en 4to escribimos los relatos del viaje a Rosario que realizamos el viernes. De lo contado por escrito pasamos a compartirlo con todo el grupo. Por último cada uno eligió una palabra que representaba su relato y generamos en Wordle.net una "nube de palabras".
Acá les compartimos el resultado final de nuestra nube:

Matemáticos
Siempre hablamos de la importancia de compartir nuestros conocimientos con el otro y de aceptarlos como un regalo que nos hacen.
Así trabajamos con nuestros libros digitalizados en matemática: Compartimos, argumentamos y llegamos a conclusiones todos juntos.
