Apples & Books

Thanks parents for making an investment in your children.  It was great to see everyone reading together and enjoying a healthy snack.  Please don't feel bad if you missed the event.  There will be others during the year.  Reading with your child is one of the most memorable experiences you can give your child.

Science Egg-speriment

We learned today that eggs absorb vinegar.  The egg's shell is made up of calcium carbonate and is "eaten" up by the acidic vinegar, leaving behind only the inner membrane and giving them a rubbery feel. It dissolves the shell completely.  Check us out!

Working as a Group

We learned about working in a group today.  Remember: Sit in a circle so all voices can be heard and respect all our group member's comments.  We worked on making our class rules together in our groups.

First Week

We are already back hard at work the first week of school.  Check out our fun Lio Lionni project.  Remeber Fish is Fish and that's OK.

Back to School

I'm not sure I'm quite ready for a new school year to start, but I am so excited to meet all my new students. We are going to have a great school year!

We learned what vinegar can do to an egg (what acids do to calcium). Check us out!

We survived the first week of school

Welcome back to School

Our classroom looks lonely. Are you ready to come back to school?

Fluency Practice

One of the stories in our reading book was a "Newscast" written as a play. The students joined a group and assigned themselves parts. They did a great job working together reading with their best fluent voices.

Halloween Pumpkin Painting

Ayriona and Yessenia counted our candy corn jars from our Estimation Game. We had 4 jars with different amounts of candy corn and the closest guesses won. Haley had the closest guess to the largest jar and got to take them home. Alex and Yessenia also took home a jar.

Students got to estimate the height, weight and circumference of 5 different pumpkins. We learned pumpkins are a lot bigger around than we thought. The biggest pumpkin was 3 feet around!

Thanks to you parents who came to help your child paint pumpkins! We had lots of fun seeing how funny we could make our pumpkin faces.
