Introduction to the Phonics Dance!

Check out the first 20 sounds we have learned this year! We use these sounds everyday to chunk words when we are reading and writing.

Doubles Rap!

We have started a new 'club' in our classroom. It is called the Doubles Double Bubble Club. I will start checking students on their doubles facts after conference week. Once our whole class knows their facts in a snap, we will celebrate by chewing bubble gum one day as well as blowing bubbles outside as a class!

Happy Fall!

We had a blast celebrating the first day of fall today! We put on our imaginary white lab coats and got to work first thing on a science experiment. Using oil, water, and vinegar we predicted which liquid would dissolve a candy corn the fastest. The winner was...drum roll... WATER! We also built 2D and 3D shapes using toothpicks, candy corn, and candy corn marshmallows. They kids made some awesome things!Finally, we taste tested red, green, and yellow apples to see which one our class liked the best. As you can tell from our graph, our class liked yellow and green apples the best!

Testing Snacks

Thank you to everyone who was able to send in snack donations this week. The kids seemed to look forward to their special snack each day!

Weather Project

We have been learning about all different kinds of weather this quarter. We have even been tracking the weather and keeping a weather journal! We got to become meteorologists in the tech lab and use a green screen to report the weather too! Check it out!
