Fourth grade zoo switcheroo

We had the chance today to visit the fourth graders who made animal habitats.  This is very much like the wax museum with the fifth graders, but this time the students looked at the different habitats and learned facts about different animals.  It is always fun to see what they will be doing next year! Ask your child what they learned!

Fifth Grade Wax Museum

We had a great time this Monday when we visited the fifth grade for the wax museum.  The wax museum is a project the fifth graders put on for the school where they research a person. They then dress up as the person and present facts about the person.  This was a great time to visit the wax museum since we have been reading Honus and Me and we read about the life of Honus Wagner.  Ask your child about what they learned at the wax museum!!

High Touch High Tech "Cosmic Capers"

We had a great time today with Scientist Stan who came today to present the program called "Cosmic Capers."  We had fun watching a rocket launch and calculating how high the rocket went up in the air.  We measured our jumps and multiplied our jump x 28 to calculate how far we would jump on the moon.  The class also had the chance to experience gyroscopic force by spinning around while holding a wheel that is twirling in their hand.  The class even made "alien snot" made from liquid plastic or P.V.O.H. (polyvinyl alcohol).  At the end of our time, the class did an experiment about how the air is clear and the clouds are white, but the sky is blue.  We did a lot today in science!! Ask your child what their favorite part was and what they learned!

Field Day

What a great Field Day!! I am so proud of the teamwork that I saw and the encouragement said during the games.  I love having such an awesome class!! We didn't win first place, but I know our class did their best and I think our class is the best with the excellent sportsmanship that I saw!

Below are pictures of our field day.  If you have any more pictures, please email me so I can post them on the blog!!
