Holiday Party

We had an awesome Holiday Party.  

They wore reindeer and Santa Hats, ate lots of yummy food, made a wreath with beads and played games.

We loved having our brothers and sisters in our class.

Making our friends into a Christmas Tree was the 

highlight of the party.

SOOO Funny! Children decorated trees.

Your a Mean One Mr. Grinch

We had so much fun this week with our Mr. Grinch Unit.

We brainstormed all the mean characteristics he had in the story.

Then we brainstormed all the love he had at the end of the story.

We wrote similes.

A simile  is comparing two unlike things using like or as.

Grinch Punch

We made Grinch Punch using lime ice cream and sprite.

Then we learned about transition words and wrote the recipe for Grinch Punch.

Happy Birthday Laura!!!

Push and Pull

Discover, Discover, Discover!

That is what it is all about in education these days.

The unit is Force.  The students are given supplies and they have to figure out how to apply the topic which was push and pull.

They did a great job setting up a ramp and moving the box with a ball.

It is so much fun watching them enjoy Science.

Research Money

We started our money unit with research.  Each group researched a different coin, then made a presentation about their findings.  We used laptops and books.

The students are doing such a great job of working with a group.

I love sitting back and watching their little brains find out everything they can about their topic.

Sorry!  I forgot to take pictures of their final products.

Stations with Sound

Today the students rotated through stations with sound experiments.

They used a tuning fork and watched sound move the ball without touching the ball.

They investigated what happened to water when you put a moving tuning fork into water.

The felt vibrations and made the association of sound to vibration.

We learned a lot of big science words and had fun while doing it.

Number Line to 1000

Today we made a number line on the floor that went to 1000.

Each student had a number on a sticky note.  They had to figure out where there number would go on the line.  I love sitting back and observe them problem solving to figure out the outcome.

Happy Birthday Ashlyn

Arthur's Thanksgiving Play

We had a great time performing the play Arthur's Thanksgiving.

The students worked very hard and loved having 

their parents in to see the performance.
