Some hams posing with the sandwiches and tea display. They ALL did a wonderful job as hosts and hostesses.
Adrian, 'Viggy' and Mark hammin' it up.
Some of our Valentine's Day party moments. Hover over the pictures for some captions.
First, we made 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. After that we took turns creating these same shapes into a structure big enough for us to crawl through! Architects need to know a LOT about geometry!
FIELD DAY!!!!
These talented thespians planned, practiced, created scenery and presented their play, "Puss 'N Boots." We have been reading and listening to a lot of folktales and fairy tales. Most have the same elements, e.g., "Once upon a time..", events happening in 3s, magic, clever characters, hardworking characters, and most importantly lessons to be learned.
HOW TO.....Make Delicious Ice Cream! We gathered materials and followed directions. Wow...our arms got quite the workout. It took a LOT of shaking and rolling for the ingredients to turn into thickened ice cream. But it WAS yummy...no...scrumptious...no...smooth...no...sugary...no....AWESOME!
We 'read' a picture book showing the same view out of a window but over years and years. We discussed how the environment had changed and why. The children used a variety of natural and human made resources to make their own view out of a window. We then described our windows using similes. We used a word processing program to type our descriptions using different fonts and colors to match our similes.
Here are some of our opinions about the China research project. As each student finishes writing their opinions they will tape these to the back of the printed, black and white research reports. Then they can take these home. Remember, if you want a color version, download it from the research tab page.
Writing must be treated as an ongoing, never ending process. We write. We change/edit. We rewrite. We change/edit again. Sometimes we'll go for a final product. Sometimes we won't. That will be our decision. Dr. Seuss didn't get it right on his very first sloppy copies! Neither will we!
