Friday Fun

What a wonderful Friday we had!  We celebrated our great effort and behaovior with a show and tell time.  Our friends celebrating Ramadan joined us again during math and then we played Bingo as part of the school wide PBIS celebration for earning so many Hoot Cards!

















 







Thank you to our teachers, administrators and volunteers who work to make fun incentives such as BINGO possible.  We had a great time!

Tuesday and Wednesday

 








BINGO!
We have earned a school-wide bingo event to be held on Friday.  To help us prepare we invited 4th and 5th grade students to help us 




We started learning about colors, color mixing, and lines. Recently we completed some  science experiments with color. We used water and food coloring with paper towels.  Using primary colors we allowed the water to travel up the absorbent towels and mix colors.

We also split flower stems to dip them in 2 different colors to see what would happen.

Baking soda volcanos blended colors as well as melting ice cubes.  The science of color mixing is fun!

Still more to come! We will be coloring our own eggs!  This activity will be a nice way to culminate our Chick hatching/lifecycle unit and our color mixing exploration. Wel also read Rechenkah's Eggs and watch the author and illustrator, Patricia Polacco create her Ukrainian dyed eggs. She used hot wax to create designs when she uses different dyes.

School is So Much Fun

So many wonderful things happen in the course of a few days at school! Thanks for checking in to see all we do!


Our parent volunteers help us in so many ways.  Students love having moms and dads in to our class.


A day does not pass without some kind of dancing.  It is good to move the body and have fun!


On Friday, our guest readers were invited us in a dance!





Everyone was all smiles during our Reading Buddy time!  We love to listen to books!  Next time we may be reading to our guests!









We have begun to read a chapter book.... students like to relax and imagine what the pictures would  be like since there are not many illustrations in the book.


Ramadan has begun.  We welcome students who are fasting to visit in our room during their lunch break.




Yippee for volunteers!  


Ms. Kendall helped us talk about size of the problem and what is a big deal.
