Bill Nye: The Science Guy - Energy (Full Episode)

Yeah Lifecycles!!!

So a super fun package showed up yesterday and it had  creepy crawlies in it!
We officially have 33+ classroom pets..... All secure in little tiny cups- This is going to be a fun learning experience ....we will watch larval bugs transform into butterflies.

What are we up to?

Hey Parents just an update on what we are doing!

In Reading we have started James and The Giant Peach- so that is going well, the kids are probably excited for a book away from our Reading series.

In Math we have started to learn about customary measurement and capacity- They enjoy measuring with paper clips but not so much with rulers and yard sticks.

In Science we are wrapping up the human body and planet studies. I did send home a sheet that has information about their FINAL project this is due April 8th at the start of the day.

Writing has been fun, we are moving into poetry so that will be enjoyable all those rhymes!!

Grammar is everyone favorite! That is totally a joke, but they should have some Grammar Rock songs stuck in their heads so listen for those! I know that the boys especially love those songs :)

So in a nutshell that is it. I am sending home the final Scholastic book order today- that will be due back on April 22nd!!

Fun Photo Update

 Just a little fun subtraction review and "snowball fight"

  

 We love exploding volcanoes!! 

 Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!

  A fun afternoon of reading and facts!

  We had an Leprechaun visit our room... sneaky little guy!!

  Who knew science test could be so fun, or perhaps they were traumatizing? Any phase that was missed had to go in the trash all others could be eaten!!

 Learning how to measure!! (with a paper clip!) This day there were a lot of grumbles!

Mrs. Wills

Human Body Unit

Hey parents!

I just wanted to give you a heads up on the Science unit we are starting...... It is about the Human Body- basic stuff bones, muscle groups, nervous & digestive systems..... if for any reason you do not want your child to learn about this please let me know...... I WILL NOT be covering any material related to reproductive anatomy... We will just be covering basic human properties i.e. names of bones in arms, legs and upper abdomen, main muscle groups and how our nervous-respiratory- circulatory and digestive systems work.

What a fun week!

Just in case you haven't heard this week was Dr. Seuss week at school!

We had quite a fun time! We watched a few clips of Dr. Seuss videos, played games as Seussville.com and celebrated the birthday of Dr. Seuss with cake and read alouds!

I will have photos posted of the older kids reading to the younger ones and some younger kids reading to the older kids!  It was super cute!

So in Math we are moving into probability- we have gone through money and time with a breeze (your kiddos are sooooo smart!)

In reading we have just finished our 22nd lesson which is very hard to believe! Students have learned about homophones and adjectives!

We have been working on our stamina in writing and are moving into writing lengthy stories or letters that make sense and are cohesive.....

Your children are becoming very well acquainted with the computers at school and we have some impressive typing speeds.

Well that is it for now! Check back for updates!

FYI~ We will be dismissing school at 12:00 on Wednesday and then no school on Thursday for STATE C GIRLS BASKETBALL!!! We are very excited for the girls!!
