Aqua Sand
Aqua sand is a "magical" sand that never gets wet! The sand clumps together when in the water. When it is taken out of the water, it returns to its original form! In science, we made predictions about what would happen to the sand when we placed it in the water. We also recorded our observations during the experiment. We had a great time, and the students had the chance to be introduced to the scientific method.
Show and Share
As part of our classroom management plan, students can earn privileges for good behavior. This student earned a show and share card, so he brought a crocodile skull to show his friends at school!
Another student shows the class her interactive story book and puppy. The puppy is a character in the book and reads along with parts of the story!
We had an awesome time playing games and having treats at a Fall party on Wednesday!
We also had the chance to visit a 5th grade classroom and view the projects they created while studying Native American tribes.
Writing
We made these turkeys in writing class. The stories on their bellies are titled
"How to Help a Turkey Escape Thanksgiving Dinner."
"We all know contractions!"
We have been reviewing contractions this last week. Songs can really help us remember important concepts, so we have been singing and dancing to our contraction song for a few days now.
WE LOVE IT!
Math
Students demonstrate how base ten blocks can help us represent numbers. We are also using them to add 2 and 3 digit numbers together.
Pie Throwing
Our student council raised money for the Wounded Warrior Project by selling tickets for a chance to throw a pie at your teacher! Here is a clean picture before any pies were thrown.
Here is an after shot!
