Field Day Fun...Super Hero Power!

The rain held out for a fun day, and even though we didn't win...the SUPER HERO POWERS were strong!  It was a great day of learning to be a team, working on gross motor coordination and so much more!  Thank you to all the parents that helped make our day great.  From noise makers to mask...it was OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING!

Live from the COOL AID CORNER

Today we are starting an ongoing project that will allow students to share their learning.  The COOL AID CORNER was open for reporting and Joshua told us all about addition.  This was a greater way to show deeper thinking, because he had to show and explain the thinking.  Be sure to check back for the live broadcast!

More students will have an opportunity to report on their learning.  My goal is to have it as a learning station for kids to use every day.  It will take time to get there, but this is a great example of learning!

Look at the HEAT!

Today we learned that solids can change to a liquid all with heat!  Be sure to ask about how we got the solid crayons to change to the liquids. 

When they cooled off, Miles said "as soon as it dried up it changed to a solider again, because it wasn't moving"

Science MATTERS

Mater is anything that takes up space and has mass.  Today we were Matter Investigators.  We used the i-touches to hunt in the school for solid matter that has different properties.  In the class we looked at different liquids and recorded their properties!  Way to go Miss B - great way to put matter in a real world situation.

Learning in the Field!

It is always fun to do things different, and today was no different!

We had a great trip to the Children's Museum and the BIG Hill.  We learned about motion, matter, and Communities.  All things that directly link to what we are doing in our room.  Thank you for making it a great day.

Using our 5 Senses!

Does something smell good?

Last Friday we finished up learning about our senses by making Apple Sauce! It was a yummy way to learn and it made our room smell wonderful.  Great way to bring in FALL. 

Building a community!

This week we have been learning all about community and using maps to navigate our way around the community.  Everyone had to make a house and buildings for the community.  We used what we knew to plan out the community.

Joshua said - I would want to live by the Police Station.

MacKenzie thought that bad people might be by the police station and moved her home.

Audrey made a great grocery store - I would for SURE shop there!

Grant even put his port-a-potty in the construction site.

Beckett made the roads, and Zoe said we had to have roads to get to places.

This was a WONDERFUL example of Project Based Learning!
