Happy Halloween!

What a wonderful day creating 3D structures, making an edible Spookly and pumpkin carving! Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Halloween!

Investigating Chlorophyll

My "Busy Bees" had an exciting time investigating chlorophyll in leaves. The students captured chlorophyll from different leaves & experimented to uncover the hidden colors in leaves. What amazing young scientists they're becoming! Critical thinking skills are enhanced during hands-on science activities. 

Paleontologist

 We were Paleontologist today. Digging through dinosaur eggs and discovering the different species inside. A bit messy, but oh so fun!

Happy Birthday George Washington!

 

 We had so much fun learning about our first President, George Washington. We celebrated with Cherry Turnovers discussing the famous legend/myth of young George cutting down the cherry tree with his hatchet and telling his Pa that he could not tell a lie. We reviewed that George Washington is on the quarter and one-dollar bill. What an awesome group of K friends I have the privilege of teaching.

100 Days of Learning!

On hundred days of learning,

One hundred days of fun,

One hundred days to work and play,

Aren't I the lucky one?

The Three States of Matter - YUMMY!

    

 Root Beer Floats come together with the perfect mix of chemistry, physics and yummy taste! This science inquiry has been one of our best tasting, so far!  My friends knew immediately the ice cream was the solid and the Root Beer the liquid. It was fascinating to watch them observe all of the bubbles created and identify them as a gas. What a yummy, hands-on way to observe the 3 states of matter! My friends are amazing young scientists! 

Happy Thanksgiving

 

As a culminating project to our Pilgrim and Native American studies, we created vests with Native American symbols. My friends came up with their own unique names, as well.  We loved sharing a traditional Thanksgiving feast from Oak Point in our class. Such a wonderful day filled with good food, friends and a visit from our wonderful principal, Mrs. Stone. Blessed to spend my days teaching my friends.             Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving!
