Water Cycle Experiment

Today we conducted an experiment to learn more about several parts of the water cycle. We observed a cup of water that was cold, at room temperature, and hot to see which would evaporate fastest. We could also see some condensation forming on the under side of the lid. Some of us even saw precipitation as droplets crowded together and became heavy enough to fall back into the cup!

Happy New Year!

Check out our 2018 New Year resolutions!

We also started the year with a fun story about snowflakes and how no two are alike! That's just like each of us! We are all unique and wonderful and when we come together like snowflakes falling in a group, the picture is beautiful!

It was quite a STEM challenge to make three dimensional snowflakes, but we did it!

Happy New Year!

Happy holidays!

Today we had our winter party! It was lots of fun decorating and eating cookies, having an indoor snowball fight, decorating gifts, and playing a minute-to-win it cotton ball snow ball race! Thank you families for organizing, planning, and hosting a great party!

We hope everyone has a safe, wonderful holiday and a fantastic winter break! See you in 2018!

Winter Writing Celebration

Today we celebrated our information writing! Students worked very hard to draft a book with an introduction, several strong chapters, and a conclusion! We even included helpful text features and a table of contents!

After our gallery walk, we enjoyed some hot chocolate!!!

Our Student Teacher

We were very lucky to have a second teacher this semester! December 7 was her last day, so we had a little celebration! She will continue to play an important role in our school year. We are thrilled!

Multiplication/Division

We've been exploring and practicing various strategies for multiplication and division! Here are some multiplication/division turkeys we made just before Thanksgiving!

Narrative Writing Celebration

Our narrative writing unit was lots of fun! We did a gallery walk to celebrate their finished, published stories!
