Paleontologist

 

This week we explored dinosaurs and became paleontologist excavating "fossils". In addition, we created dinosaur fossils and composed an amazing song about what paleontologist do.

Pollination

We had an awesome week exploring plants and learning about the life cycle of bees. We investigated pollination through an activity using Cheetos as pollen. We planted "Busy Bee" sunflower seeds. We observed a sweet potato developing a root system and investigated how H20 travels up the stem of plants. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day! With Kelley being my maiden name, St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite celebrations during the school year. This year, created our own community called "Tater Town". We  had a feeling that mischievous little Leprechaun may try and visit, so we created traps to attempt to capture him. We faithfully plotted his travels from Ireland across the Atlantic Ocean through the Gulf of Mexico and up the mouth of the Mississippi River straight to our classroom at North Live Oak in Watson. That leprechaun was so sneaky and mischievous!  He avoided all of our traps. We were shocked to see how he tumbled over  chairs and scattered our things all over the room. He made such a mess, but we were very happy that he left us gold coins, and chocolate coins. Continuing our celebration, we made explored the 3 states of matter and made green ice cream floats. We had a great day!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

We had a wonderful day reading stories from Dr. Seuss and making green eggs.  Eighteen friends loved green eggs and two were not pleased with the taste and decided they should be waste. 

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Adventures in letter land - Q and U wedding

 

Adventures in letter land. 

We learned that Q and U are always together.  So we decided they wanted to be together forever. We had a simple and fun wedding to help my friends remember Q and U will always be together!  The wedding cake flavor was voted on and we enjoyed it with punch.

Buoyancy

We had a great time exploring sink and float. We predicted if items were buoyant or not and tested to see if our predictions were correct.
